An Indian-flagged vessel carrying crude oil was on Saturday attacked ​while attempting to cross the Strait ‌of Hormuz, according to an Indian government source.

The vessel has been identified as the Sanmar ​Herald, the source said, adding that ​the crew on board and the ⁠vessel were safe.

At least two merchant ​vessels said they were hit by gunfire ​as they attempted to cross the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, Reuters had reported earlier today.

India has ​summoned Iran’s ambassador to India over ​the same incident, the Indian government source said.

US President ‌Donald ⁠Trump had said on Friday Iran had agreed to open the strait, while Iranian officials said they wanted the US ​to fully ​lift ⁠its blockade of Iranian tankers.

More than a dozen tankers, including three ​sanctioned vessels, passed through the ​Strait ⁠of Hormuz after a 50-day blockade was lifted on Friday, shipping data showed, before Iran ⁠reimposed ​restrictions on Saturday and ​fired at some vessels.
