Two Iranian gunboats reportedly opened fire on two Indian-flagged ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement by India's Ministry of External Affairs. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre reported the tanker and its crew were safe without revealing its identity or its destination.
Iran's ambassador to India, Mohammad Fathali, was called in for a meeting with India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri in which Misri conveyed New Delhi's deep concern at the shooting incident.
