A crew member aboard a carrier struck by a missile in waters off the Omani coast has died from wounds to the head.
An Indian seafarer has died after sustaining serious head injuries when a missile struck the cargo vessel on which he was serving in waters off the coast of Oman, in the latest attack to threaten commercial shipping in the region.
The crew member succumbed to his wounds following the strike on the carrier, marking one of the graver human costs yet recorded from the wave of attacks that have endangered merchant vessels operating in and around the Arabian Sea.
The incident underscores the mounting risk faced by civilian mariners navigating routes in the area, with international shipping lanes in the broader region remaining under persistent threat.
