The Iranian-backed Houthis, who have been targeting ships during the Israel-Hamas war, said via their al-Masirah satellite news channel that Oman had taken custody of the mariners, who were flying to the sultanate.

Oman later said it received the 11 mariners — who are from India and the Philippines — “in preparation for their return to their home countries.” However, the Houthis later released images of only 10 mariners. It wasn't clear why the 11th releasee wasn't shown.
