Explosion hits oil tanker off Oman
A oil tanker off the coast of Oman was subjected to an unknown projectile launch on Saturday, which injured the engine room but caused no casualties, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations. The incident occurred approximately 12.5 nautical miles from the Omani coast, accompanied by a large explosion and the release of water, but it did not cause significant damage to the vessel. This development comes amid ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has controlled the passage since the start of the US-Israeli war, imposing restrictions on maritime navigation and issuing threats to target ships attempting to use an alternative route along the Oman's coasts.
