Are the 3 missing Indians still alive?
The Indian government is seeking clarity on the fate of three of its nationals who went missing after a tanker strike off the coast of Oman.
The crew members, who were on board the oil tanker MT Pratibha Coolsen, were reported missing last week after the ship was allegedly attacked by pirates off the coast of Oman.
The Indian Navy and Coast Guard have launched a massive search and rescue operation to locate the missing Indians, but so far, there has been no success.
The government has summoned the US envoy to India, Kenneth Juster, to protest the tanker strike, which it believes was facilitated by US warships in the region.
The move is seen as a significant escalation of tensions between India and the US, with the Indian government accusing the US of failing to prevent the attack.
