The Indian navy has been given formal approval by the United Nations to go after pirate ships in Somali waters, the BBC has learnt.
The UN approval authorises India to go in “hot pursuit” of pirates, naval sources told the BBC.
On Tuesday, an Indian warship sank a suspected Somali pirate vessel after it opened fire on it in the Gulf of Aden.
