India registered a strong protest against continued attacks on vessels carrying Indian seafarers. Two vessels, MT Al Bahiyah and MT Mombasa, were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. One Indian national tragically lost his life while others sustained injuries during the attacks. The ministry summoned Iran’s deputy chief of mission to lodge a strong protest. India calls for an immediate cessation of violence and a return to dialogue.
