Thirteen Indian nationals are reported missing after the Comoros-flagged oil tanker, "Prestige Falcon," capsized off Oman's coast. The incident occurred on Monday, with Oman's maritime security center confirming the crew comprised 13 Indians and three Sri Lankans. The tanker remains submerged and inverted, prompting urgent search and rescue operations. Authorities are assessing the vessel's stability and potential environmental impact, with no confirmation yet on oil leakage into the sea. The Prestige Falcon, a 117-meter-long tanker built in 2007, departed from Dubai's port of Hamriya en route to Aden, Yemen, and was last tracked four days ago.
