Eight seafarers from India who survived a missile attack on the oil tanker Sky Light near Oman’s Khasab port are stranded abroad after a fire destroyed their passports, phones and personal belongings. The attack on March 1 occurred amid escalating tensions in the Middle East near the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The vessel’s captain, Ashish Kumar from Bihar, was killed, while another crew member, Dalip Singh from Rajasthan, remains missing. The surviving sailors are currently staying at Khasab Airport and waiting for emergency travel documents from authorities so they can return home. (PC: The Indian Express)
