Increase in maritime attacks targets Iraq Oman
The UK Maritime Trade Operations Authority announced that two oil tankers were targeted with unidentified projectiles off the coasts of Iraq and Oman, resulting in a fire on one vessel and damage to the other without any injuries or environmental damage. The tanker "Soya" was off the coast of Iraq and was attacked after departing from the Al-Zubair port, while the tanker "Al-Dosmah" was off the coast of Oman and sustained a hit while heading toward the neutral zone. No party has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which come amid an escalation of vessel targeting incidents since early October in the Gulf region. Since the end of February 2026, around 88 incidents have been reported amid rising security and military tensions in the area.
