Two crew members missing after attack on tanker
The 'El Gaia', despite operating in dark mode, was attacked by drones about 1,3 nautical miles northeast of the Governorate of Musandam on Sep 13, 2026, which caused a large fire in the engine room. There were 25 crew members on board. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that 13 Indian crew members have been rescued. An Omani naval vessel evacuated 23 of them, who were subsequently provided with medical care, while two crew members were missing. One Indian oiler and the Pakistani 3rd engineer Muhammad Hamad Obaida - and an SAR operation was launched to locate them. Oman's Maritime Security Center said on Sep 15 that the tanker was being towed to an Omani port, after the fire aboard the vessel was brought under control. Initially, Iran's IRGC had claimed the tanker had caught fire after colliding with mines in the Hormuz. CENTCOM denied the report, instead stating that the ship had actually been struck by an Iranian missile last month and had recently been struck again by an Iranian drone. The Indian government has strongly condemned the attack on the vessel. Following the incident, the Indian Embassy in Oman was closely monitoring the situation and was in contact with the relevant authorities. The government has also expressed concern for the safety and well-being of the rescued crew members and those still involved in the ongoing rescue operation.
