Amid heavy rains in Maharashtra, the Indian Navy succ♕essfully pulled off a rescue mission on Wednesday. The Navy responded to a distress call made by a critically💙 injured Chinese sailor off the coast of Mumbai.

In response to the call, a Sea King helico♉pter was launched from the Indian Navy Air Stati🐻on Shikra on Wednesday.

"Challenging weather conditions with winds over 45 knots and heavy rolling of the ship were compounded by non-availability of continuous deck.

The 51-year-old ജChinese mariner on board Bulk Carrier Zhong Shan Men had been critically injured and suffered from heavy blood l𝔍oss.

Along with the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard Ship Samrat was also diverted to offer assistance in the rescue🦋 operation.

"The safe and timely evacuatio🎐n of the patient was a result of joint operation coordinated by MRCC (MBI) with the Indian Navy," the spokesperson added further.
