Indian Navy ship assists tanker that suffered onboard fire in Gulf of Oman

Personnel aboard an Indian Navy warship rendered assistance to the crew of a commercial vessel after it suffered an onboard fire while underway in the Gulf of Oman on Sunday, June 29.

The Talwar-class stealth frigate INS Tabar was operating in the area as part of a scheduled deployment when her crew received a distress call from the Palau-registered product tanker Yi Cheng 6 just minutes after a blaze ignited in the latter's engine room.
