India on Tuesday summoned the Deputy Chief of Mission of the Embassy of Iran and lodged a strong protest over missile attacks on two merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, in which one Indian national was killed and ten others were injured.
In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said India is "deeply concerned" by the attacks on two vessels, MT Al Bahiyah and MT Mombasa, during their transit through the strait. Both vessels were carrying 30 Indian seafarers among their combined crew of 46.
