Tanker fire after projectile hit
The British Navy announced that a vessel departing the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an unidentified projectile, resulting in a fire onboard. They confirmed the safety of the crew, but the extent of the damage and the possible environmental impact remain unclear. The navy also reported receiving alerts about orders to evacuate areas near Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates. Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed that a tanker was hit by a sea mine while attempting to pass through the strait via an unauthorized route. The United States states that ships transiting the area are protected by the U.S. Navy along designated routes, except for vessels passing to or from Iranian waters.
