Report of incident near Khasab
Bahrain has reported an increase in incidents involving oil tankers being targeted by unknown projectiles in the Gulf of Oman. The British Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) announced that it received two reports of incidents on Saturday. One involved a tanker about 21 nautical miles off Khour Fakkan, where flashes and an explosion were observed but caused no damage or injuries. The other reported damage to the engine room, also without causing environmental harm or injuries. This comes amid ongoing regional tensions between the United States and Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz, with rising attacks on oil tankers and unstable security conditions in the area.
