Corroborated · Arabian Sea (approximate) ·
The Indian Navy says it rescued all 20 crew of the Iranian fishing vessel Azini, which pirates had hijacked, in a 48-hour operation on 2 November 2026 in the Arabian Sea, and that it took the pirates into custody; Rajnath Singh's statement praising the operation is the source of these details. Bellum Acta reports that pirates seized the vessel off Somalia on 29 October and that it was approaching the shipping corridor south of Socotra, citing an EU position report, with crew status unknown. Middle East Observer spells the vessel Al-Azeeni, which appears to be the same ship.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
