The Indian government has strongly condemned an attack on an oil tanker owned by Dubai company Onex. The incident occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, leaving 12 crew members injured, including 11 from India, according to a statement from India's Ministry of External Affairs. The ship, which sails under a Panamanian flag, had a crew of 19, with 17 being Indians.
Thanks to the assistance of Omani authorities, the injured crew members have been evacuated and are receiving medical care in Khasab, Oman. The Indian government expressed gratitude for the Omani authorities' support and reiterated its call for an immediate end to attacks on shipping in the region, emphasizing the need to restore navigation and commerce through international waterways as soon as possible.
Over the past weeks, nine commercial vessels have been attacked near the strait, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Earlier on Tuesday, the UK Maritime Trade Operations confirmed that an oil tanker crossing the Strait of Hormuz was hit by a projectile.
