Third suspected US strike this week hits Indian-crewed tanker off Oman

Third suspected US strike this week hits Indian-crewed tanker off Oman India's shipping ministry said all 20 Indian crew members were safe after a new suspected US strike on the asphalt tanker Jalveer off Oman on Thursday, following two similar strikes involving Indian crews in the region this week. The Guinea-Bissau-flagged Jalveer sent a distress call while off Oman's port of Shinas after a fire broke out around its engine room and funnel, British maritime risk management company Vanguard said. An Indian shipping ministry official said the crew were being evacuated in coordination with the Royal Navy of Oman.
