India has strongly protested to the United States after three merchant vessels carrying Indian crew members were attacked off Oman in four days, resulting in the deaths of three Indian seafarers and raising concerns over maritime safety.

3 vessels with Indian seafarers attacked by US Navy; India says these strikes must stop

India has strongly protested to the United States after three merchant vessels carrying Indian crew members were attacked off Oman in four days, resulting in the deaths of three Indian seafarers and raising concerns over maritime safety.

India on Thursday said three merchant ships with Indian crew members came under attack from American military off the coast of Oman in the last four days resulting in the death of three nationals and it has lodged a strong protest with the US over the strikes.
It was New Delhi's first public acknowledgement that US Navy targeted the three ships with Indian crew members.
New Delhi asserted that these attacks must stop.
A Palau-flagged oil tanker, Marivex, carrying 24 Indian seafarers, was disabled by US forces on June 8. All crew members were safely rescued.
On June 10, US struck another Palau-flagged tanker Settebello, killing three out of the 24 Indian sailors on board.
Another vessel 'Jalveer', a Guinea-Bissau-flagged tanker with 20 Indians, was attacked on Thursday.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a news briefing that the three separate strikes on the Settebello, Marivex and Jalveer "came from the US Navy".
Following the attack on Settebello on Wednesday that killed three Indians, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) summoned US Charge d'Affaires Jason Meeks and he was handed a demarche or diplomatic note of protest.
"We attach high importance to the welfare and well-being of our seafaring community. When this particular attack on the ship Settebello occurred, we lodged a strong protest with the American side," Jaiswal said.
"We summoned the US Charge d'Affaires and he was conveyed our deepest concern over the ongoing incidents of attacks. We also registered our strong protest," he said.
Jaiswal emphasised that these attacks "must stop".
"We further conveyed that dialogue and diplomacy is the way forward for the peaceful resolution of the conflict, and that there should be unimpeded access through the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with international law," he said.
"Therefore, we made our position very clear on each of these points, while reiterating how important the lives of our people are, welfare and safety of our people are," he added.
Jaiswal said two of the three vessels were subject to sanctions administered by the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), while another had been classified as non-compliant.
The OFAC is the financial intelligence and enforcement agency of the US Treasury Department and it acts against vessels involved in violating US sanctions on the sale of Iranian and Russian oil.
"The three ships that have been involved in these incidents were foreign-flagged vessels. Two of them were Palau-flagged, while the third ship is Guinea-Bissau-flagged. They were not Indian-owned ships," the MEA spokesperson said.
US Central Command (Centcom) has confirmed strikes on Settebello and Marivex but is yet to comment on reported strikes on Jalveer.
Mukesh Mangal, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Ports, Shipping &amp; Waterways, said evacuation of the seafarers on Jalveer has commenced.
From Settebello, all the remaining 25 crew members including 21 Indians, two Pakistani, one Russian and one Ukranian have been safely evacuated, he said, adding the Seamen Welfare Fund Society has been asked to pay Rs 10 lakh to family of each deceased.
He said more than 18,000 Indian seafarers remained in the Gulf region, including 562 crew members aboard 13 Indian-flagged ships - 329 on vessels on the west of Strait of Hormuz and 233 on vessels in Gulf of Oman.
In its reaction, India also said that the continuing incidents of attacks on shipping are deeply worrisome and a direct result of the ongoing conflict in the region.
New Delhi has been pressing for immediate de-escalation of tensions, and the conclusion of ongoing negotiations for a diplomatic solution.
"The targeting of commercial shipping and civilian infrastructure in the region must end, and free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the international waterways in the region in keeping with international law must be restored at the earliest," the MEA said in a statement on Tuesday.
At a separate media briefing, Secretary (West) in the MEA Sibi George indicated that the evolving situation in West Asia as well as restrictions on shipping through Strait of Hormuz may figure in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bilateral meetings on the sidelines of G7 summit in France next week.

All 22 Indian crew members aboard MT Jalveer were safely evacuated after the tanker came under attack off Oman. The incident marks the third US strike on a merchant vessel carrying Indian sailors in four days.

All 22 crew members evacuated after third vessel with Indians on board was attacked off Oman

All 22 Indian crew members aboard MT Jalveer were safely evacuated after the tanker came under attack off Oman. The incident marks the third US strike on a merchant vessel carrying Indian sailors in four days.

Crew members of a tanker carrying 22 Indians were evacuated on Thursday after the vessel came under attack off an Oman port, Indian officials said.
This was the third instance of a merchant ship with Indian crew members coming under attack from the US military off the Oman coast in the last four days.
A Palau-flagged oil tanker carrying 24 Indian seafarers was disabled by US forces on Monday. All crew members of the vessel MT Marivex were safely rescued.
On Wednesday, the US struck another Palau-flagged tanker MT Settebello, killing three out of the 24 Indian sailors on board.
Following Wednesday&rsquo;s incident, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) summoned US Charge d'Affaires Jason Meeks and he was handed a diplomatic note of protest.
The third incident took place on Thursday.
The Indian Embassy in Muscat said in a post on X: &ldquo;The rescue operation with the support of the Omani authorities has been successfully completed and all the 22 Indian crew members have been evacuated ashore. The Mission is coordinating with the Omani authorities on further actions.&rdquo;
The MEA later confirmed that the ship had come under attack.
"These attacks came from the US Navy that is stationed there," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a press briefing in New Delhi while responding to a question on the incidents involving the vessels.
"We attach high importance to the welfare and well-being of our seafaring community,&rdquo; Jaiswal said.
The US Central Command said in a statement that it disabled the Guinea-Bissau-flagged MT Jalveer for allegedly violating its blockade against Iran by attempting to transport Iranian oil.
It said a US aircraft struck the vessel's engine room after the crew "repeatedly failed to comply with directions from US forces".
The MEA said two of the vessels involved in the incidents this week were operating under US sanctions, while one was in the non-compliant category.
India has described the attacks on commercial vessels as "deeply worrisome" and it has strongly taken up the matter with the US.
The US military imposed a blockade on Iranian ports after Iran effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which around 20 per cent of global energy supplies are transported in normal times.

Three Indian crew members aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello have been confirmed dead following a US military strike off Oman. India has lodged a strong protest and pledged support to the victims' families.

Three missing Indian seafarers onboard MT Settebello confirmed dead: Sonowal

Three Indian crew members aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello have been confirmed dead following a US military strike off Oman. India has lodged a strong protest and pledged support to the victims' families.

Three Indian seafarers onboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello, initially reported missing after the US military strike on the commercial vessel off Oman coast, are now confirmed dead, Union Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Thursday after bodies were located and identified.
It is deeply unfortunate to learn of the tragic incident aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello, Sonowal said in a social media post.
"Sadly, three Indian seafarers initially reported missing are now confirmed dead after bodies have been located and identified," he added.
The minister added that this is a "profound loss to our maritime family".
"The Modi Govt stands firmly with the bereaved during this difficult hour and is fully committed to supporting the next of kin," he added.
Sonowal said he has directed officials to ensure immediate repatriation of the rescued crew members and swift return of the mortal remains of the deceased for their final rites.
India on Wednesday summoned the US charge d'affaires to strongly protest a US military attack on a commercial vessel off the Oman coast that left three of the 24 Indian crew members missing.
The US Central Command acknowledged the strike, saying the vessel violated the ongoing US blockade of Iranian ports by attempting to transport oil from Iran.
"The US Central Command disabled Palau-flagged M/T Settebello as it transited the Gulf of Oman. A US aircraft fired precision munitions into the ship's engine room after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces," it had said in a statement.
In its statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned the attack.
"We condemn the attack on the commercial vessel Settebello off the coast of Oman, earlier today. Of the 24 Indian crew onboard, 21 Indians have been rescued thus far and three Indians are reportedly missing," it had said.
The incident came amid renewed hostilities between Iran and Israel.
Israel carried out air strikes in western and central Iran after Iran fired missiles at northern Israel.

Israeli forces withdrew from a south Lebanon town, replaced by Lebanese troops under a ceasefire deal, CENTCOM reported Wednesday.

First Israeli Withdrawal From Lebanon Under Ceasefire

The Israeli military meanwhile said its 7th Brigade had "concluded their mission in Khiam in southern Lebanon."

Israeli forces conducted a first withdrawal from a town in south Lebanon and were replaced by the Lebanese military under a ceasefire deal, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Wednesday.
The command's leader General Erik Kurilla "was present at the implementation and monitoring headquarters today during the ongoing first Israeli Defense Forces withdrawal and Lebanese Armed Forces replacement in Al-Khiam, Lebanon, as part of the (ceasefire) agreement," CENTCOM said in a statement.
"This is an important first step in the implementation of a lasting cessation of hostilities and lays the foundation for continued progress," the statement quoted Kurilla as saying.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that the stationing of troops "in the Khiam and Marjayoun areas today represents a fundamental step towards strengthening the army's deployment in the south, in implementation of the ceasefire decision."
"We salute the army's efforts" toward establishing "stability in the south," Mikati said in a post on X.
The Israeli military meanwhile said its 7th Brigade had "concluded their mission in Khiam in southern Lebanon."
"In accordance with the ceasefire understandings and with the coordination of the United States, soldiers of the Lebanese Armed Forces are being deployed in the area together" with UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping mission in the area, the Israeli statement said.
The Pentagon later said that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had spoken to his Israeli counterpart, Israel Katz, and told him the United States was working with its partners to support the ceasefire.
Austin "emphasized that the ceasefire... has the potential to create the conditions to restore lasting calm and enable residents on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border to return safely to their homes," the US readout said.
Israel stepped up its military campaign in south Lebanon in late September after nearly a year of cross-border exchanges begun by Hezbollah in support of its ally Hamas, following the Palestinian group's October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel.
A ceasefire came into effect on November 27 and is generally holding, though both sides have accused the other of repeated violations.
As part of the agreement, the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers will deploy in southern Lebanon as the Israeli army withdraws over a period of 60 days.
Hezbollah is also meant to withdraw its forces north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border, and dismantle its military infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
