SYDNEY : An Australian warship has rescued 13 Iranians shipwrecked off
Pakistan on its way to the Middle East. HMAS Darwin came across the men
on Saturday, clinging to wreckage after their boat was struck by an
unknown vessel and sank. They claimed to have been adrift for five days
in international waters. “HMAS Darwin launched a rigid hull inflatable
boat, provided food, water, minor medical care and safety to the
shipwrecked men,” Australia’s department of defence said.
The ship stayed with the fishermen until a Pakistani vessel, MSS Nusrat, arrived and took them to shore.
