Two Indian sailors remained missing in a report published on 14 October after an attack on MT Petro Dolphin off Sohar, Oman. Earlier coverage said nine of the vessel’s eleven Indian crew members had been rescued following the 11 October incident.
The National’s follow-up described the continuing uncertainty faced by the missing crew members’ families. The reports did not establish a confirmed perpetrator or announce that the two missing sailors had died.
This is the position documented in the 14 October update. The tanker should not be confused with M/T Valthera, whose eleven Indian crew members were reported safe in a separate incident.
