India condemns an attack on the commercial vessel GFS Galaxy in waters off Oman, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The MEA says the ship carries 11 Indian nationals, and that 10 have been rescued so far. One Indian national is reportedly missing, and a search and rescue operation continues to locate the missing crew member. India’s embassy in Oman is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with Omani authorities during the ongoing efforts. The MEA statement describes the attack as unacceptable and reiterates India’s condemnation.
Multiple outlets report that the GFS Galaxy is Cyprus-flagged. In a separate development mentioned by Middle East Eye, Iran says it fired a warning shot that struck a vessel travelling on an unapproved route. The available reports focus on India’s response, the status of Indian seafarers, and the coordination with local authorities for the search for the missing person.
