Pakistani Navy Rescues Stranded Iranian Fishermen off Yemen

This week, a Pakistani Navy warship rescued 23 Iranian fishermen who were adrift in the Gulf of Aden, the service reported Thursday. 

The frigate PNS Zulfiquar was under way off Yemen when it received a distress call from a fishing dhow, the Al Muhammadi. The dhow's crew reported that one of the fishermen had sustained serious injuries to his hand while attempting to fix the boat's engine, which had broken down. They were stranded and adrift, about 1,200 nautical miles from home.
