A statement issued by the Indian Embassy in Tehran said that the attack occurred earlier on Friday and that all 28 crew members were safe.
A Mozambican-flagged LPG tanker was reportedly attacked in Iranian waters. There were 28 Indians on board the ship, all of whom were safe, according to a statement from the Indian Embassy in Tehran published by news agency ANI on Friday evening.
According to the statement, the attack occurred earlier today, and that the embassy was in close contact with the relevant authorities.
This development comes at a time when the safety of Indian sailors remains a concern, with several deaths reported since the start of the US-Iran war a few months ago. “The embassy continues to closely monitor the situation and remains in touch with the relevant authorities,” the statement shared by ANI read.
