Summary

Twenty Indian crew members aboard the asphalt tanker Jalveer are safe after a suspected U.S. strike off Oman on Thursday. The vessel experienced a fire near its engine room and funnel and issued a distress call. This incident follows two other attacks this week involving Indian crews in the same region.
One day prior, three Indian sailors lost their lives in a U.S. strike on the Settebello tanker. Indian authorities confirmed the Jalveer was attacked by the U.S. Navy. These events are believed to be linked to U.S. operations to blockade Iranian ports, enforced since April 13.
