India has launched a high-priority operation to guide 13 Indian-flagged commercial vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz as security concerns intensify across the Gulf region. The coordinated mission involves the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, the Ministry of External Affairs, and maritime authorities to protect Indian seafarers and vital energy cargo. Officials confirmed that all Indian crew members remain safe, with no hostile incidents reported so far. The vessels include oil tankers, container ships, bulk carriers, and an LPG tanker. The move comes as regional instability threatens one of the world’s most critical shipping and energy corridors. (PC: X)
