India strongly condemned the attack, calling for an immediate end to assaults on commercial shipping in the region.

Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal announced on X that the rescued seafarers had been brought to the Port of Mokha by the Yemeni Coast Guard.

“I have instructed the Director General of Maritime Administration to take immediate steps, in coordination with all agencies, to ensure the safety and security of Indian seafarers in the region and provide all necessary assistance to the rescued crew,” Sonowal said.

In a separate statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also condemned the attack and expressed gratitude to the Yemeni authorities for their swift rescue efforts.

"All 13 Indian nationals have been rescued. Our Embassy in Riyadh is closely monitoring the situation and proactively coordinating with the Yemeni authorities to ensure the safety and security of the crew," the ministry said.

The MEA described the continuing attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea as "deeply worrisome" and urged that such incidents cease immediately.

"The targeting of commercial shipping in the region must end, and free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the international waterways in the region, in keeping with international law, must be restored at the earliest," the ministry said.

Shipping traffic through the Red Sea has faced repeated disruptions due to attacks by Yemen's Houthis. The group wants to blockade Saudi exports, expanding the US-Iran conflict that has already choked oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz.
