  "account": "Eleven Indian crew members of a Panama-flagged merchant vessel suffered injuries when it was hit by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to strong condemnation from India. The incident occurred at the start of Tuesday while the vessel was sailing off the coast of Oman. A total of 19 crew members were aboard the ship, comprising 17 Indians and two crew members of unspecified nationalities.\n\nThe Indian External Affairs Ministry reported that all 11 Indian crew members were injured in the attack. These injured seafarers were promptly evacuated to Oman for medical treatment. The ministry expressed gratitude towards the Omani authorities for their support during the evacuation and subsequent medical care.\n\nIndia reiterated its demand for an immediate cessation of attacks on merchant vessels in international waters, emphasizing that such incidents are deeply concerning for the nation. The ministry called for an end to these attacks in the interests of peace and stability in the region.\n\nThe attack on the On Peace vessel has added to a series of incidents involving attacks on shipping in the region. It is noteworthy that 11 Indian seafarers have already lost their lives in the ongoing West Asia conflict, which began in February following attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran. Additionally, five Indian seafarers have died in strikes on merchant vessels in the Black Sea.",
