Blasts Hit Four Tankers

The Iranian army said four oil tankers were rocked by explosions in the Strait of Hormuz after ignoring its warnings and entering areas it described as prohibited. State media reported that the tankers had struck naval mines, but Reuters could not verify the account. The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported that another vessel was hit by an unidentified projectile near Ras Al Khaimah, sparking a fire in the engine room; all crew members were evacuated. According to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, at least 10 ships were attacked during the first 10 days of November, following 37 attacks in October—the highest monthly total since the war began.
