The Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) recovered a foreign vessel that had illegally entered Maldivian waters, using an MNDF drone to locate it during a joint operation by the Air Co-Drone unit and the Coast Guard in the northern maritime region. The seized fishing boat is suspected to have originated from South India or Sri Lanka and has been taken into MNDF custody.

Photos released by the MNDF on Saturday depict the seized vessel as a fishing boat, which is suspected to have originated from South India or Sri Lanka.
