An oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden reported a small boat approaching it Wednesday afternoon, according to a security field report. The crew stated there was no damage or injuries. The report follows a series of maritime incidents in the region in recent weeks, including an RPG attack on a tanker off Oman on June 15 and a Houthi fast-boat strike on a tanker near the Gulf of Aden on June 17 — both reported by the UKMTO. No affiliation has been attributed to today's approach, and no exchange of fire was reported.
