An oil tanker was struck by an unspecified projectile off the coast of Oman early Tuesday, Israeli media reported, citing an unverified report. The incident occurred at approximately 02:30 Jerusalem time. No casualties were reported and the vessel's current status has not been detailed.
The attack follows a series of maritime incidents off Yemen and Oman over the past month, many of which have been attributed to Houthi forces operating in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. As The Zioneer reported, several vessels have been targeted by drones, RPG fire, and small arms attacks in recent weeks. The lack of an immediate claim of responsibility and the ambiguous nature of the weapon used leave the attacker's identity unconfirmed.
