Liberia-Flagged Tanker Carrying Six Indians Hit by Projectile in Persian Gulf
A Liberia-flagged crude oil tanker, MT FUJAIRAH ENERGY, carrying six Indian seafarers was struck by a projectile while transiting the Persian Gulf from Al Ruwais to Dubai on November 10. Four crew members were injured, including one Indian national who sustained minor injuries and was taken ashore for medical care.

The Indian government is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with the ship management company amid rising maritime security concerns in the region.
