Search Continues for Three Missing Indian Crew Members After Oman Tanker Attack

Three Indian crew members remain missing after an attack on an oil products tanker off the coast of Oman, while 21 other Indian sailors were successfully rescued, according to India's Ministry of External Affairs.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the ministry condemned the attack on the commercial vessel Settebello, describing it as a serious incident that has triggered an ongoing search and rescue operation.

Indian authorities said the country's embassy in Oman is closely monitoring developments and working with Omani officials to locate the missing seafarers and provide support to those rescued.

Maritime officials reported that the tanker was struck in what has been described as a suspected missile attack. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.

The attack has raised concerns about maritime security in the region, a key route for international shipping and energy transportation.

Rescue teams continue to search the area as authorities seek to account for the missing crew members and assess the full impact of the attack.
