Al Jazeera – Two Indian seafarers have died and one remains missing after a US attack on the Settebello oil tanker off the coast of Oman on Tuesday night, local news outlet The Hindu reports.
Quoting Manoj Yadav, general secretary of the Forward Seamen’s Union of India (FSUI), the daily reported that the deceased were identified as deck cadet Aditya Sharma and engine fitter Shivanand Chaurasiya. Chief engineer Patnala Suresh is still missing.
On Wednesday, India summoned the US deputy chief of mission, Jason Meeks, and lodged a “strong protest”.
US CENTCOM said it carried out a “precision” strike on the Settebello, as it transited the Gulf of Oman, claiming it was carrying Iranian oil and that the crew failed to comply with instructions from US forces.
