Unexploded shell ignites ship engine in Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz has experienced increasing security tensions amid repeated attacks on oil tankers and commercial ships. A vessel faced a serious situation after being hit by an unknown projectile, causing a fire in the engine room, with no injuries or direct environmental damage reported. British maritime authorities stated they are investigating the incident, which follows a series of attacks targeting at least seven tankers since early October. Despite escalating security threats, shipping continues to pass through the strait. Additionally, a vessel approaching the area was warned by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to turn back, which it did. Tensions remain high, but they have not affected the flow of oil and gas exports, which have hit record highs, with supplies continuing despite increased navigation risks.
