Projectile attacks near Al-Makha and Hormuz
Two incidents occurred in international waters, both involving attacks targeting tankers with unknown guns—one northeast of Yemen and the other in the Strait of Hormuz. These events resulted in injuries, damage, and the death of a crew member. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed that the vessel in the Strait of Hormuz was damaged, and one crew member was killed aboard. Meanwhile, the ship near Yemen was crewless and sustained damage worth more than the insurance value to repair. Authorities are continuing investigations. Shipping traffic through the Strait is suffering a severe decline amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, following the expiration of a deadline related to a possible agreement. Iran continues to block the Strait in response to the American blockade.
