A tanker caught fire after being struck by a projectile while traveling through the Strait of Hormuz near Oman, the British military said Monday.
The tanker reported being hit while traveling south out of the narrow waterway off the coast of Limah in Oman, U.K. Maritime Trade Operations said in a post on X. The monitoring agency, which is part of Britain’s Royal Navy, said no casualties or damage were reported and authorities are investigating. It did not specify the name of the tanker or type of projectile that hit.
