The Indian Embassy in Oman said on Thursday it was closely monitoring an incident involving a vessel, MT Jalveer, off Shinas port on the Omani coast and was coordinating with local authorities to gather details, as tensions in the Gulf remained high following a US strike on a tanker that killed three Indian seafarers.
"We have learnt of an incident involving a vessel off Shinas port of Oman, earlier today. We are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with the local authorities for further details," the embassy said in a post on X.
