India on Tuesday strongly condemned the recent attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz after an Indian sailor was killed in one of the strikes. The Ministry of External Affairs said targeting civilian merchant vessels is unacceptable and called for an immediate end to such attacks. Expressing condolences to the sailor’s family, India urged all parties to respect international maritime law and ensure the safety of seafarers and commercial shipping. The statement comes amid rising tensions in the Gulf, where repeated attacks on merchant ships have raised concerns over regional stability and the security of one of the world’s busiest trade routes.
