India on Wednesday condemned the attack on a Thai-flagged cargo ship, Mayuree Naree, which was sailing to Gujarat’s Kandla port through the Strait of Hormuz. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “India deplores the fact that commercial shipping is being targeted in the West Asia conflict.” The ship was reportedly hit by two projectiles, causing a fire and damage to the engine room. Twenty crew members were rescued, while three remain missing. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards later claimed responsibility for the strike. India urged all sides to avoid targeting commercial vessels and endangering civilian crew members during the ongoing conflict in the region. (PC: AP)
