According to the Times of Oman, all 28 Indian crew members aboard the Mozambique-flagged LPG tanker DISHA are safe following an incident in Iranian territorial waters. The report cites confirmation from the Indian Embassy in Tehran, which has been monitoring the situation closely since the vessel was targeted.
While details regarding the nature of the attack remain limited, the vessel was reportedly navigating through Iranian waters when the incident occurred. The safety of the crew has been the primary focus of diplomatic efforts between Indian officials and local authorities in Iran to ensure the security of the personnel involved.
Maritime security in the region remains a point of concern for international shipping, particularly as tensions fluctuate in the Gulf and surrounding waters. The Indian government frequently coordinates with regional partners to provide assistance to its citizens working in the global maritime sector during such security incidents. Further updates are expected as the vessel undergoes assessment and the crew receives necessary support.
The story is reported by a credible regional outlet, the Times of Oman, citing an official diplomatic source (the Indian Embassy in Tehran). While not independently corroborated by the provided international wire list, it follows standard reporting practices for regional maritime incidents.
