Cargo ship struck off Saudi coast
A oil tanker off the Saudi coast was hit by an unknown projectile 68 nautical miles northeast of the city of Dammam, with no injuries to the crew or environmental damage. The British Maritime Trade Operations issued a statement regarding the incident, confirming that the crew was safely evacuated and that an investigation into the circumstances is underway. They also called on passing ships to exercise caution and report any suspicious activities. This incident occurs amid escalating security tensions in the region, amid attacks by the Houthi group targeting inside Saudi Arabia, including the interception and destruction of a drone, and an increase in attacks on airports and other locations within the Kingdom since the Saudi-led coalition's military intervention in Yemen began in 2015.
