A tanker was involved in an incident in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) centre, which cited information from military authorities.
In a warning published on the social media platform X late Tuesday, the maritime agency said the condition of the vessel’s crew, the extent of potential damage and any possible environmental consequences had not yet been established.
However, the agency did not disclose the tanker’s identity, explain what caused the incident or provide details about when it took place.
Earlier on Tuesday, UKMTO reported that another tanker had been hit by an unidentified projectile approximately 19 nautical miles northeast of Limah, Oman. At that time, all crew members were reported safe, and no environmental damage had been identified.
In a separate development, ADNOC Logistics & Services announced that one of its vessels had suffered damage following an attack in the United Arab Emirates’ territorial waters in the Gulf on Tuesday afternoon.
