An Indian oil tanker had a close call after an attack near a key port in the United Arab Emirates, but all crew members onboard were reported safe and the vessel avoided any damage.

According to reports, the incident occurred in the vicinity of a UAE port where an attack targeted maritime infrastructure or nearby assets. The Indian tanker was operating close to the affected area at the time, raising immediate concerns over its safety. However, it was not struck during the attack and managed to move out of harm’s way.

Officials confirmed that the crew remained unharmed, and there were no reports of injuries or structural damage to the ship. The vessel was able to continue its operations following the incident.
