The government of India has reported that another ship was struck near the coast of Oman, while also confirming that three people were killed in a separate attack in the region.
According to reports, Indian authorities are closely monitoring the situation and investigating the circumstances surrounding the incidents involving commercial vessels.
Government officials said the three fatalities occurred in a different attack, adding to concerns about the safety of ships and crew members operating in the area.
The waters near Oman are strategically important for global trade, particularly for the transportation of oil and other goods, making any attack in the region a matter of international concern.
Security analysts say the increase in attacks on ships could pose risks to maritime transportation and commercial activity across the Middle East.
The government of India said it is working with the relevant authorities and international partners to improve security and protect seafarers.
Further details are expected as investigations continue into the causes of the attacks and the identities of those responsible.
