India Summons Iran Envoy After Indian Killed

India has summoned Iran's Deputy Ambassador to the Ministry of External Affairs after an Iranian missile strike on two UAE-linked oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz killed an Indian crew member and injured several others, government sources said on Tuesday. 

The diplomatic move followed Sunday's attack in Omani territorial waters, where Iranian cruise missiles struck the tankers Mombasa and Al Bahiyah as they transited the southern shipping lane of the Strait of



Hormuz.

According to the UAE, the attack killed one Indian crew member aboard the Mombasa and injured eight others, including six Indian nationals and two Ukrainians. Four of the injured remain in critical condition. 

The Ministry of External Affairs summoned Iran's Deputy Chief of Mission in New Delhi, Mohammad Javad Hosseini, to lodge a formal protest over the strike, which India views as a serious threat to the safety of civilian maritime traffic and its nationals.
