Last Updated:June 11, 2026, 14:06 IST

MT Jalveer came under attack near Oman's Shinas port, the third such attack this week after the US previously struck two tankers in the region.

Moments after Indian vessel MT Jalveer was attacked near Oman’s Shinas port, a video emerged showing the ship’s captain sending an SOS signal, informing port authorities that there was a fire in the engine room.

“Sir, please hear the coordinates," the captain said in the SOS call. “Shinas port control, this is a message from Jalveer that all crew are safe. We have a huge fire in the engine room."

This came after the Indian embassy in Oman said it had learnt of an “incident" involving a merchant vessel off the Shinas port and was closely monitoring the situation.

The Forward Seamen’s Union of India (FSUI) shared visuals of MT Jalveer, which was struck near Oman. Reports suggest that there are 20 crew members aboard, although there has been no official confirmation.
