Pakistan navy assists Indian vessel stranded in Arabian Sea

May 5 (Reuters) - ‌Pakistan's navy ​responded ​to a distress call from an Indian ‌vessel stranded in the Arabian ⁠Sea after a critical technical failure, ‌Pakistan's military said ‌on Tuesday.

The vessel, named MV Gautam, was carrying seven crew ​members - six Indians and one Indonesian - and had ⁠suffered a critical technical failure while en ​route from Oman to India, leaving it stranded at ​sea, the Pakistani ‌military said in a statement.

Pakistan's navy dispatched a ⁠ship named Kashmir, which provided food, medical assistance and technical ⁠support to stabilise the vessel and ​ensure the crew's safety, the statement said.

Last month Pakistan said its navy ‌had rescued and evacuated 18 crew members of ‌a merchant vessel operating ⁠in the northern ‌Arabian Sea ​after a distress call.
