Indian engineer confirmed dead after Iranian attack on ship off coast of Oman

An Indian marine engineer, Herambh Karmarkar, has been confirmed dead following an Iranian attack on a merchant vessel off the coast of Oman. The attack on the GFS Galaxy, which was en route to Dubai through the Strait of Hormuz, resulted in a fire and forced the crew to abandon ship. Ten Indian sailors were rescued by the Omani Navy, but Karmarkar was not among them. His family received confirmation of his death from the shipping company. Separately, three crew members remain missing after two UAE tankers were attacked by Iran earlier in the week, with one fatality and multiple injuries reported. The UAE government condemned the attacks as violations of international law, and the International Maritime Organization warned that the Strait of Hormuz remains too dangerous for commercial traffic.
