The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Wednesday that it had received reports of a tanker and two other vessels being targeted by unidentified projectiles while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The agency said investigations were underway to determine the circumstances of the incidents, while urging ships operating in the area to remain vigilant and report any unusual activity. There were no immediate reports of casualties or the extent of any material damage.
The incidents come as tensions continue to disrupt maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s key routes for transporting energy supplies to global markets.
