  "account": "India condemned attacks on commercial ships and seafarers in the Strait of Hormuz, following the disappearance of two Indian crew members. The MT Petro Dolphin, a ship carrying 11 Indian seafarers, was hit by a drone, leaving two crew members missing. The MT Valthera, another vessel with 11 Indian seafarers, was also struck by an unknown projectile, resulting in a fire onboard but all crew were reported safe. The Indian embassy in Muscat is monitoring the situation and working with Omani authorities to rescue the missing seafarers. The government emphasized the safety and security of Indian seafarers and called for an immediate end to attacks on commercial vessels and civilian infrastructure, warning that such actions risk escalating the already volatile situation.",
