Indian-Flagged Vessel Sinks in Strait of Hormuz After Attack

An Indian-flagged vessel sank in the Strait of Hormuz this week following an attack near the coast of Oman, according to Omani officials and a maritime data company. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that all crew members were rescued by Omani authorities, but did not disclose the identity of the attackers. According to Odaily, maritime data company Windward suggested the vessel likely sank after a drone attack. Two Omani officials familiar with the situation stated that the ship was transporting goats at the time of the incident. Investigations into the exact circumstances of the sinking are ongoing.
