Oman announced on Tuesday that it had carried out a medical evacuation of ten crew members from the oil tanker "Onbeas," which flies the Panamanian flag, after it came under attack near the Sultanate, according to Sky News Arabia.
Omani authorities have not yet identified who was behind the attack on the tanker, nor have they given details about the condition of the evacuated sailors or the nature of any injuries they may have sustained.
The incident comes amid ongoing security concerns over shipping and tanker traffic in the regional waters surrounding the Arabian Peninsula, which has seen a series of similar incidents in recent times.
So far, no official comment has been issued by the tanker's operators or by Panama, the flag state, regarding the incident or the extent of any damage that may have resulted.
