Indian seafarers have questioned the US military’s claim that it warned the crew of an oil tanker before launching an airstrike that killed three of them, saying that they had no reason to deliberately ignore or challenge American forces.
The US military’s Central Command, or Centcom, reported last week that an aircraft fired precision munitions into the engine room of MT Settebello after its crew failed to comply with orders to stop, disabling it in the Gulf of Oman.
