New Delhi, June 17 -- Reacting to reports that three Indian seafarers were killed in an attack near the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump expressed concern, calling it a "rough profession" and said countries are working together to address such incidents.

"I heard about that, it's a rough profession and we work together on it. This has been happening throughout time but we work together...," the US president said.

Bodies of two of the three Indian seafarers who were killed in a US strike on a vessel off the Oman coast were repatriated to the country on Wednesday, according to an official statement.

This comes a day after 21 rescued Indian seafarers from the same Palau-flagged vessel MT Settebello were repatriated to India.
