One Indian national was killed in an attack on the bulk carrier<\/a> MV Cape Dao while the vessel was heading towards India, the Indian embassy in Oman said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The embassy was in close coordination with Omani authorities regarding the safety of all crew on board, including 19 Indian nationals, it added.<\/p>\n

Oman’s Maritime Security Center said on Wednesday that it carried out an evacuation operation for the crew of the vessel following the attack off the sultanate’s Musandam governorate.<\/p>\n

A total of 27 crew members were evacuated, the center said, and one crew member was killed, without disclosing his nationality.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Ministry of External Affairs condemned the attack on the commercial vessel MV Cape Dao off Oman\u2019s eastern coast<\/a> in a statement published Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe condemn the attack on the commercial vessel MV Cape Dao earlier today off the east coast of Oman,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n

The statement confirmed that 20 Indian seafarers were aboard the vessel, with 19 rescued and one Indian national killed in the attack.<\/p>\n

India said the continuing attacks on commercial shipping in the region were \u201cdeeply worrisome\u201d and called for dialogue and diplomacy to de-escalate tensions<\/a> and enable an early return of peace.<\/p>\n

The ministry also called for an end to attacks<\/a> targeting \u201ccommercial shipping, seafarers and civilian infrastructure,\u201d adding that \u201cfree and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the international waterways in the region must be restored at the earliest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One Indian national was killed in an attack on the bulk carrier MV Cape Dao while the vessel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":303948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[102,138,181,18869,101],"class_list":["post-303947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-strait-of-hormuz","tag-hormuz","tag-india","tag-oman","tag-ship-attacks","tag-strait-of-hormuz"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117321459513080951","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
