**Indian Navy’s INS Tabar Responds to Distress Call, Battles Fire Aboard Stricken Tanker**
**New Delhi, June 30, 2025** – The Indian Navy’s stealth frigate, INS Tabar, successfully responded to a distress call from the Pulau-flagged tanker MT Yi Cheng 6 on Sunday, June 29th, 2025. The tanker, carrying a crew of 14 Indian nationals, was en route from Kandla, India, to Shinas, Oman, when a major fire erupted in its engine room, causing a complete power failure.
According to an official statement from the Indian Navy Spokesperson via X (formerly Twitter), INS Tabar swiftly diverted to the scene after receiving the distress call. A firefighting team and essential equipment were rapidly deployed from INS Tabar to the MT Yi Cheng 6 using the ship’s boat and helicopter.
As of this morning, a combined team of thirteen naval personnel from INS Tabar and five crew members from the MT Yi Cheng 6 are actively engaged in combating the blaze. The Indian Navy reports that the intensity of the fire has been “drastically reduced” due to their efforts. The operation is ongoing.
