India's Ambassador to Oman, Prashant Pise, visited an Indian sailor recovering at Sohar Hospital after a scary incident at sea.
The sailor was hurt when his ship, the "MSV Quba," came under attack by an unknown aerial object while traveling from the UAE to Somalia.
The ambassador enquired about the seafarer's well-being, interacted with the medical team regarding his treatment and recovery, and conveyed his heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery.
All 13 Indian Quba crew rescued
All 13 Indian crew members from the "Quba" were rescued, but some were injured.
These attacks, plus another near Oman where an Indian sailor lost his life, have India calling for stronger safety measures and more teamwork to protect people working on ships in the region.
The embassy says it is committed to supporting affected sailors and their families.
