Deadly Strikes on Indian Seafarers Crews in Gulf Waters

Settebello suffered the deadliest attack as missile strikes killed three Indian crew members onboard the vessel. Rescue teams later saved sailors from Marivex and MT Jalveer despite severe damage caused during the incidents. Shipping firms denied allegations linked to transporting Iranian oil.

Another tragedy unfolded aboard MT Celestial where Indian sailor Nishanth Uirthanathan died after delayed medical assistance near Oman. Crew members reportedly struggled to preserve his body because the vessel lacked refrigeration facilities. Maritime unions criticised authorities for ignoring repeated SOS calls.
