India denounced an attack on a Panama-flagged commercial vessel off the coast of Oman, where 11 Indian crew members were injured among 12 total injuries. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal called for an immediate cease to attacks on civilian infrastructure and seafarers. The incident occurred Monday while the vessel, MT On Peace, was transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
