The PNS ZULFIQUAR, which was deployed on Regional Maritime Security Patrol, promptly responded to a distress call of the fishing dhow, the press release said, adding that upon communication with the Pakistan navy ship, the fishing dhow reported a seriously injured crew member as well as defective engine and requested for necessary assistance.

It said PNS ZULFIQUAR swiftly responded and dispatched its medical and technical teams which provided first aid to the injured fisherman who sustained severe injuries to his hand while repairing the boat's engine.

Two more sick crew members were examined and provided medical assistance while the boat’s engine was also repaired, the press release maintained.
