An LPG gas tanker at anchor as traffic is down in the Strait of Hormuz

India says two of its tankers "safely" crossed the Strait of Hormuz this morning and are heading to India.

The news was confirmed in a press briefing by Rajesh Kumar Sinha, special secretary of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways.

The two Indian-flagged tankers are carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
