Two Indian sailors are missing after their vessel was attacked near the Omani coast, according to reports. The incident occurred in the Arabian Sea, approximately 300 kilometers east of Muscat. The vessel, identified as the MV Sagar Samrat, was targeted by missile fire, leaving the crew in distress.
The attack is believed to be linked to ongoing tensions in the region, with Houthi rebels in Yemen continuing to launch missile strikes against Saudi Arabia. The latest strike hit a military facility near Riyadh, increasing the casualty count. The Houthi group has been accused of targeting commercial and naval vessels in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
The Indian government has expressed concern over the incident, with officials urging the Omani authorities to assist in the search for the missing sailors. The vessel was en route from India to the United Arab Emirates when it was attacked. The incident highlights the growing threat of regional conflicts to maritime trade and security.
The Houthi attacks have intensified in recent weeks, with reports of increased missile activity targeting Saudi infrastructure. The group has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Saudi Arabian military and civilian sites. The situation remains volatile, with international calls for a de-escalation of hostilities in the region.
