A crude oil tanker sailing about 7.4 kilometres east of Oman was struck on its port side by unidentified munitions, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency. The vessel's captain reported the incident and all crew members are safe with no injuries.

Authorities have launched a wide-ranging investigation into the attack. UKMTO has urged all mariners in the Gulf of Oman and the Gulf of Basra to maintain heightened security measures and report any suspicious activity immediately.

The incident has renewed concerns over navigation safety in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. No oil spill or environmental damage has been reported so far.
