A Liberia-flagged tanker carrying six Indian seafarers was struck by a projectile while transiting the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, leaving four crew members injured, including one Indian national. Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal identified the vessel as MT Fujairah Energy, which was travelling from Al Ruwais to Dubai. The remaining 18 crew members, including five other Indians, were reported safe. The government is coordinating with the ship management company to ensure medical care and crew safety. The incident comes amid repeated attacks on commercial vessels since the Iran-US war began in February. October witnessed 37 ship attacks, the highest monthly total since the conflict started.
