Two sailors were killed in an incident in the Strait of Hormuz, the Saudi National Shipping Company confirmed, as relayed by Israeli broadcaster N12 in a Wednesday report. The incident took place two days ago, on Monday. No details on the cause or the nationality of the victims have been released.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, has seen repeated attacks on commercial vessels in recent months. The Zioneer has reported on several such incidents, including a Houthi strike off Yemen's Mokha coast in August that killed three crew members, and a series of tanker attacks attributed to Iran in the strait earlier this year. The latest fatalities add to a growing toll of merchant sailors caught in the region's maritime conflict.
