Second Iranian fishing boat hijacked by Somali pirates rescued by Indian navy. Photos show members of the special forces boarding the boat at night, then standing and armed facing a group of men kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs on the ship's deck.

Ship takeovers off Somalia raise fears of a resurgence of attacks in the Indian Ocean by opportunistic pirates. Pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia reached a peak in 2011, with operations launched up to more than 3,500 kilometers from the Somali coast.
