Two tankers were struck in the disputed waterway, an Indian crew member was killed and others were injured, days after another strike<\/p>\n
India has summoned Iran\u2019s deputy chief of mission in New Delhi after an attack on two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz left an Indian crew member dead and injured eight others.
\nThe attack was the second such incident in less than a week, after the hostilities in the Middle East over the control of the strategic waterway resumed following a lull induced by a temporary truce between Iran and the US in June.
\nThe defense ministry of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said in a social media post on Tuesday that an Indian crew member died and eight others were injured when two of its tankers were struck by Iranian cruise missiles while transiting through the Strait of Hormuz.
\nIndia\u2019s foreign ministry said it summoned Mohammad Javad Hosseini to lodge a \u2018strong protest\u2019 against the Iranian attacks on oil tankers passing through the waterway.
\nThe Mombasa and Al Bahiyah were struck while transiting via the southern lane of the strait in Oman\u2019s territorial waters. The dead crew member was on board the Mombasa tanker.<\/p>\n

Of the eight wounded, four were seriously injured. Six of the wounded were Indian nationals, and the rest were identified as Ukrainian nationals.
\n\u201cIndia is closely monitoring the situation and is in touch with the UAE authorities to ensure assistance to the affected Indian seafarers,\u201d the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
\nNew Delhi \u201cstrongly condemned\u201d the attacks targeting seafarers and disrupting free and safe navigation through international waterways, adding \u201cthe targeting of commercial shipping and civilian infrastructure in the region must cease.\u201d
\nThe Middle East conflict has resulted in the death of nearly a dozen Indian nationals. Several seafarers have been rescued as ships and tankers have come under attack.
\nAn Indian sailor who was onboard the Cyprus-flagged GFS Galaxy, which was attacked off Oman\u2019s northern coast while transiting the Strait of Hormuz last Saturday, is also reportedly missing. Twenty-three crew members, including ten Indian sailors, have been rescued.<\/p>\n
