The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced that a commercial ship sailing near the Omani coastline was attacked, resulting in the disappearance of one Indian crew member and the rescue of thirteen others. The statement highlighted the involvement of the Indian Embassy in Oman, which is coordinating the ongoing search and rescue effort with Omani officials.
According to the MEA, the rescued seafarers were all Indian nationals and were brought safely to shore with the assistance of Omani authorities. The embassy thanked the Omani officials for their prompt response and cooperation, while continuing to monitor the situation and support the families of the missing seafarer.
