The Indian embassy in Oman remains in constant touch with Omani officials to ensure all possible efforts are made to locate the missing crew member. The MEA reiterated its condemnation of the attack and pledged full support to the affected families.
The attack on the commercial vessel highlights ongoing maritime security concerns in the region. India has called for the safety of all seafarers and adherence to international maritime laws.
