India Summons U.S. Diplomat Again Over Tanker Strike That Killed Three Indian Sailors

India has once again summoned the deputy chief of the U.S. mission in New Delhi to protest the American attack on the tanker Stablo near Oman two days ago, an Indian source said. The strike killed three Indian sailors aboard the vessel.

According to the source, the summons was meant to express India’s objection to the incident and the loss of its citizens. No further details were provided about the conversation or any U.S. response.

The protest comes after the attack on the tanker off the coast of Oman, which has triggered diplomatic friction between New Delhi and Washington over the deaths of the three crew members.
