MEA Confirms No Attack on Indian-Crewed Vessel Liaki Freedom Near Oman
India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has refuted reports of a new attack on the Indian-crewed vessel Liaki Freedom near Oman, confirming all crew members are safe after direct contact with the ship's master. Earlier claims of casualties and missile strikes on the vessel were dismissed as false. This clarification follows recent attacks on three other Indian-linked ships in the Gulf, including a US strike on MT Settebello that killed three Indian sailors, prompting India to lodge a strong protest with the United States.
