Three Indian sailors who were reported missing have been killed after the US military struck a tanker in the Gulf of Oman, a federal minister has said.

The Palau-flagged MT Settebello came under attack on Wednesday after the US military accused it of not complying "with directions from American forces". There were 24 Indian crewmen on board of which 21 were rescued.

The US military had accused Settebello of violating an American blockade by "attempting to transport oil from Iran".
