British naval reports projectile near tanker, gas vessel injured
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) has confirmed that a oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile that fell approximately five meters away from the vessel off the coast of Khasab in Oman, while sailing at a distance of 21 nautical miles. The incident did not result in any injuries or damage to the ship. In a separate incident near the Strait of Hormuz, a liquefied natural gas tanker was hit by an unidentified projectile, causing a fire in the engine room and a loss of propulsion. The fire was later extinguished without injuries or environmental damage, with assistance provided by Omani Coast Guard. These events come at a time of increasing tensions, especially after US accusations that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked commercial ships, in a scene that targets the strategic region of the Strait of Hormuz.
