India concerned over Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb blockades, cites seafarer safety
India's External Affairs Ministry says it is deeply concerned about blockades in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb, amid Houthi attacks and after a ship with 14 Indian seafarers was targeted off Oman. The external affairs minister discussed Red Sea developments with Saudi Arabia's foreign minister at the BRICS Summit in Delhi.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs said on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, that the country is deeply concerned by blockades in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. The ministry emphasised the importance of safe navigation and the safety of seafarers.
The developments in the Red Sea region were discussed on Sunday when External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud met on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Delhi.
The Houthis have ramped up attacks on Saudi cities. A ship carrying 14 Indian seafarers was targeted on Sunday off the Oman coast. More than 2.4 million Indians live and work in Saudi Arabia, where several cities — including Abha, Jeddah, Jazan, Taif, Yanbu, Makkah, and AlUla — are on alert amid the attacks from the Houthis.
