  • PNS HUNAIN responded by deploying a specialized team after the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency activated its Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre upon receiving the emergency alert.
  • The rescued crew included nationals from China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Indonesia. "The ship's team of specialists provided medical aid, assisted in firefighting," the Inter-Services Public Relations stated.
  • All 18 crew members were transported to Karachi for medical care and repatriation to their respective countries. This operation follows the 2024 rescue of nine Indian seamen 167 nautical miles from Karachi.
