An Indian-flagged oil tanker, Jag Laadki, escaped a drone attack on Fujairah port in the UAE and has set sail for India with 80,800 metric tonnes of crude oil.

All Indian seafarers in West Asia are safe, with no reported incidents since Saturday.

The tanker sailed safely from Fujairah on Sunday, carrying Murban crude oil, and is bound for India.

Two Indian-flagged LPG carriers are also en route to Indian ports, transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.

Fujairah port and its oil terminal were targeted with drones, temporarily disrupting oil-loading operations.

Iran threatened to attack UAE infrastructure, urging people to evacuate major ports.

22 Indian-flagged vessels with 611 Indian seafarers are still located west of the Strait of Hormuz, with the Directorate General of Shipping monitoring them.

276 Indian sailors have been repatriated from the Gulf region, including 23 since Saturday.
