Muscat, Oman — October 7, 2026: Oman has evacuated 10 injured crew members from a Panamanian-flagged oil tanker after it came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz.
The tanker, On Peace, was struck by a projectile about 9 nautical miles (17 kilometres) off the Omani port city of Limah on Tuesday, triggering a fire on board, according to Oman’s Ministry of Defence.
The injured crew members were taken to Khasab Hospital in Musandam Governorate, where they received medical treatment.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs said 12 of the vessel’s 19 crew members were injured in the attack. Seventeen of the crew members were Indian nationals, including 11 of those injured.
“The continuing incidents of attacks on shipping in the region remain a cause of deep concern for India,” the ministry said, calling for an immediate end to attacks on commercial vessels.
No group has claimed responsibility for the latest attack.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz following the outbreak of the US-Israel war on Iran on February 28. Iran has effectively restricted shipping through parts of the strategic waterway and has repeatedly warned vessels using routes it has not designated.
At least seven other tanker-related incidents have been reported in the Strait of Hormuz over the past week, according to maritime intelligence service Marisks.
Despite the growing security concerns, crude oil exports from the Middle East have recently returned to pre-war levels. Data from Kpler showed that the seven-day average of Middle Eastern crude exports reached about 18.3 million barrels per day on September 30, compared with roughly 18 million barrels per day in the year before the war.
However, oil prices remain elevated. Brent crude futures climbed to $101.51 per barrel on Tuesday, compared with $72.48 before the war began.
