British maritime authorities report continued attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) centre first announces that a tanker traveling near the coast of Oman is struck by a projectile and catches fire. Hours later, UKMTO says a second ship is hit, with damage described as structural. The authorities add that no crew members are reported injured. In a subsequent update, UKMTO states that a third vessel, also a tanker, is struck by a drone. Officials say the third tanker sustains minor damage and continues on its way. The incidents are described as part of a series of attacks targeting ships moving through the narrow entrance to the Persian Gulf, a key route for oil shipping. Across the reports, UKMTO attributes the strikes to different types of munitions—projectile and drone—and emphasizes that the attacks occur without reported casualties in the affected vessels.
