India’s embassy in Tehran said it is in close contact with authorities after a Mozambique-flagged LPG tanker, with 28 Indian crew members onboard, came under attack in Iranian territorial waters on Friday. The vessel, named Disha, was struck by an unknown missile near the Strait of Hormuz while en route to the Persian Gulf, according to the Forward Seamen's Union of India.

All Indian crew members are safe, the embassy stated on X. The Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and Oman, was the main transit route for around a fifth of global energy supplies before the conflict erupted in Iran.

Tensions have escalated since a fragile truce between Washington and Tehran collapsed in early July, reviving heavy exchanges of strikes and further disrupting shipping through the waterway. Reporting by Hyunsu Yim in Barcelona; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani.
