The operation, carried out on February 5 and 6, led to the interception of three vessels allegedly engaged in the illicit transfer of oil-based cargo approximately 100 nautical miles west of Mumbai. The operation was the culmination of an intensive sea-air surveillance effort triggered by "red-flag” movements within India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
