Three Indian nationals are feared dead in two separate maritime attacks linked to the Iran-Israel conflict off the Oman coast. Dixit Solanki, 25, from Diu, was killed Monday when an explosive-laden unmanned drone boat struck the oil tanker MKD Vyom 52 nautical miles off Muscat Governorate. According to Oman’s Ministry of Defence, the Maritime Security Centre reported the attack caused a fire and explosion in the engine room, resulting in one crew member’s death. A day earlier, one person from Bihar and another from Rajasthan were learnt to have died in an attack on another vessel, MV Skylight, marking two consecutive deadly incidents involving Indian nationals.
