Indian Seafarers Killed in Hormuz Attacks

Indian nationals were confirmed among the dead after attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, including a Pune engineer whose final text read 'ship has safely crossed'.

The government responded by ordering a real-time monitoring dashboard for all seafarers regardless of flag.

The Centre launched a 'Seafarer-First' response, establishing dedicated liaison officers and round-the-clock coordination to safeguard Indian crew in West Asia.

The attacks on merchant ships have escalated dramatically since the collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire.
