A tanker was struck by a small boat with explosives in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a fire in the engine room. The crew is safe, and the tanker continued its journey after extinguishing the fire. The incident occurred near Khasab, Oman, and the attacker remains unidentified. Iran frequently targets vessels that do not comply with its restrictions in the Strait, aiming to assert control over this strategic corridor. The U.S. has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports and is escorting tankers through the strait. Recent reports from Iran claim additional tankers caught fire due to naval mines, but only one attack has been confirmed by UKMTO.
