Thirteen of them were evacuated and rescued by the Omani Coast Guard, but one crew member died from his injuries, the minister said.
Several Indian sailors have been killed in attacks in the Strait of Hormuz since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28. India’s foreign ministry has repeatedly condemned the attacks and called for unhindered and safe shipping in international waters.
