A commercial oil tanker catches fire after being struck by an “unknown projectile” in waters near the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Oman, according to the UK’s maritime security authorities. The UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre and UKMTO report the incident happens on Monday, in an area described as east of Limah, Oman, as the vessel travels southbound. Multiple outlets say the projectile impact triggers a fire aboard the tanker. The reports characterize the weapon only as a projectile, without identifying the origin or type. Coverage also notes that no casualties are reported in connection with the incident. The UK maritime agency’s statement provides the main details used by the outlets, which consistently place the event in the Strait of Hormuz region near Oman and describe the resulting fire following the strike. No additional information about damage extent, crew condition, or investigative steps appears in the provided summaries.
