India has lodged a strong protest with the United States and summoned its top diplomat in New Delhi after a commercial tanker off the coast of Oman was attacked, leaving three Indian crew members missing. The vessel, carrying 24 Indian seafarers, was struck during escalating tensions in the Gulf region. While 21 crew members have been rescued, search operations for the missing sailors remain ongoing. The Ministry of External Affairs condemned the attack, stressing that the safety of civilian seafarers must be protected. The incident has added diplomatic strain to already heightened regional tensions involving the US, Iran, and maritime security. (PC: Reuters)
