A tanker ignited in flames after being hit by a projectile while navigating the Strait of Hormuz near Oman, according to a statement from the British military on Monday.
The vessel reported the strike occurred while traveling southbound through the narrow passage near Limah, Oman, as noted by U.K. Maritime Trade Operations on X. The Royal Navy-affiliated monitoring group confirmed no injuries or damages were reported, and an investigation is underway. Neither the tanker’s name nor the projectile type has been disclosed.
