A tanker travelling off the coast of Oman in the Strait of Hormuz caught on fire after it was struck by an “unknown projectile”, the UK military said on Tuesday.
The attack happened early on Tuesday near Limah, Oman, in the strait, marking the latest vessel to be targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passed before the US-Israel war on Iran began in late February.
