India, June 11 -- The Indian government has summoned the deputy head of the U.S. mission in capital New Delhi in protest against the fatal U.S. attack on an Iran-linked oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman earlier this week.

Indian media reported that Nagaraj Naidu, Additional Secretary in India's Foreign Ministry, summoned U.S. Charg d'Affaires Jason Meeks on Wednesday, a day after the Palau-flagged MT Settebello came under attack near the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz.
