Crew members aboard a third vessel carrying Indian nationals were safely evacuated after the ship came under attack off the Oman coast, marking yet another alarming incident in the Gulf’s tense waters.
Officials confirmed that the vessel sustained damage during the strike, but prompt evacuation ensured the safety of all Indian crew members. Consular teams are coordinating with local authorities to provide assistance and arrange their return.
This marks the third attack in recent days involving ships with Indian crew, underscoring the escalating risks faced by seafarers in the region amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs has expressed deep concern, reiterating calls for restraint and international cooperation to secure maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman.
The Indian Navy has stepped up monitoring and support operations in the area, working to safeguard national interests and ensure the protection of Indian nationals at sea.
