Three Indian seafarers are still unaccounted for following a violent incident involving their tanker off Oman's coastline. Twenty-one of their compatriots were successfully rescued, Indian foreign ministry officials announced on Wednesday.

The ministry strongly denounced the attack on the vessel, named Settebello, which occurred earlier that day. Efforts to locate the missing crew members are ongoing, as the Indian Embassy in Oman collaborates closely with local authorities.

Maritime officials have reported that the tanker, carrying oil products, was targeted in a presumed U.S. missile strike, intensifying concerns over maritime safety in the region.
