Two Indian Sailors Killed in Iranian Missile Attack on Oil Tanker Skylight

Two Indian sailors, Captain Ashish Kumar from Bihar and crew member Dalip Singh from Rajasthan, died after the Palau-flagged oil tanker Skylight was struck by an Iranian missile on March 1 near Oman's Musandam Peninsula in the Strait of Hormuz. The tanker, carrying 15 Indian and 5 Iranian crew members, was attacked amid escalating US-Israel-Iran tensions. While most crew were evacuated, Kumar's remains were recovered and Singh remains missing. The Skylight was reportedly involved in transporting Iranian oil under US sanctions.
