Indian Navy destroys pirate ship

The Indian warship INS Tabar has set a pirate ship on fire, when fired upon by the pirates. The pirate infected Gulf of Aden has seen a surge in hijacking of commercial ships in recent months. The Indian government sent the naval ship to the Gulf of Aden, after a Japanese ship with Indian crew was hijacked. Until yesterday's incident, INS Tabar had successfully defended two ships against hijack attempts.
