Three Indian sailors were killed after a commercial vessel came under attack from the US military near the Strait of Hormuz, Union Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Thursday. A total of 24 Indian crew members were on board the ship when it came under attack amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
"It is deeply unfortunate to learn of the tragic incident aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello. Sadly, three Indian seafarers initially reported missing are now confirmed dead after two bodies were recovered," Sonowal wrote in a post on X.
