On Thursday, U.S. forces struck another commercial tanker in the Gulf of Oman in the third U.S. attack on a boat in the region this week. Oman’s military led efforts to rescue the sailors. India has condemned the strikes, which have all targeted ships with crews from India. Three Indian sailors died in one of the strikes. U.S. Central Command claimed the three boats were targeted for violating the U.S. blockade of Iran and for failing to comply with U.S. orders.

In India, the father of one of the sailors killed called for his son’s body to be returned home.

Rajesh Sharma: “I only have one demand, that the mortal remains of my son be brought back. I want to know about his last moments. Was he provided rescue help or not? What were the circumstances that led to the death of three crew members of our country? All others were rescued. Why not them?”
