Aditya Sharma

Aditya Sharma was an Indian seafarer who tragically lost his life when US military aircraft conducted strikes against oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. The incident occurred on Wednesday, with US Central Command confirming that its forces fired two Hellfire missiles at the engine room of the MT Settebello. This strike resulted in the deaths of three Indian seafarers, including Sharma. The Indian government has issued a strong protest regarding the incident. This event is part of a series of attacks linked to the United States, with another vessel off Shinas port in Oman also being targeted, though all 20 Indian nationals aboard that ship were reported safe. The deaths of Indian nationals in such attacks highlights the risks faced by seafarers in the region and has led to diplomatic repercussions between India and the US.
