An oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile off the coast of Oman early Tuesday morning, according to Israeli media reports citing a maritime agency. The incident was first reported by ynet. No casualties or damage to the vessel have been detailed. The identity of the attacker has not been established.
The incident follows a series of maritime attacks in the region. As The Zioneer previously reported (June 27), a tanker was struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, and a British-flagged tanker was attacked on the same day. Prior to that, on June 13 and June 15, vessels were targeted off the coast of Oman, with attacks involving gunfire and RPGs, respectively. The current incident's location near Oman, rather than the narrow Strait of Hormuz itself, reinforces a pattern of attacks along the broader coastline, though the attackers' identity and the specific weapon remain unknown. The report is preliminary and single-sourced.
