An incident involving a tanker was recently reported in the area of Hormozhiot Tencet. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) stated that the tanker was struck by a projectile of unidentified origin, resulting in flooding. This incident occurred during the night of the vessel’s arrival at the oil port in Mumbai, India, and the impact from the left side reportedly caused a subsequent fire.
Authorities have reported that no casualties or property damage were sustained from the event. Multiple media outlets have provided details regarding the nature of the attack. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired projectiles targeting two commercial bridges near the tanker.
Similarly, Axios, citing unnamed American officials, reported that projectiles were fired from Iran toward the commercial bridges that were near the tanker. The UKMTO specifically reported that the vessel was flooded by an unidentified projectile. While the reports differ on the precise source and target of the projectiles, all accounts confirm that the incident involved an attack on the tanker.
These reports detail the ongoing tension in the region, with multiple sources attributing the aggressive actions to Iran. The incident remains under investigation, and maritime authorities continue to monitor the situation following the reported attack on the commercial tanker.
