24 Indian sailors rescued from ship hit by U.S. missile
24 Indian sailors were rescued from the Marivex tanker after it was hit by a U.S. missile. The U.S. sanctioned the ship in December for transporting Iranian oil to India and accused it of violating a blockade by sailing to an Iranian port. The sailors are expected to return to India within two days.
