ZAHeramb Karmarkar, a 30-year-old Indian marine engineer, died after his Cyprus-flagged container ship was attacked off the coast of Oman. The vessel, which had 11 Indian crew members, was hit by an 'unidentified projectile,' according to Cyprus authorities. Iran claimed it targeted the ship after it attempted to pass through an unauthorized route despite warnings. Karmarkar's death marks the second Indian seafarer killed in the region within three days, following another incident in the Strait of Hormuz. India protested the attack with Iran, which has closed the strategic waterway amid tensions with the U.S., though the U.S. claims the strait remains open to non-Iranian ships.
