British military reports an attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz taking the route closest to Oman
The crew abandoned the vessel after a projectile strike, and one Indian sailor was killed as shipping tensions rose in the strait.
- On Friday, a Qatari tanker was struck by a projectile approximately 15 kilometres off the coast of Limah, Oman, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations; the vessel sustained minor damage and continued to port.
- Following the attack, Iran stated it fired "warning shots" at vessels using the southern corridor near the Strait of Hormuz, though Tehran did not explicitly claim responsibility for the specific strike.
- Windward assessed that Abu Dhabi National Oil Company tankers Mombasa and Bahyah had "gone AIS-dark for extended periods"—one over 11 days, the other approximately seven days—before attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz.
- "I think what it's all about is the sheer volume going through," shipping analyst Michelle Bockmann said, noting the attacks signal an attempt to control the Strait of Hormuz and intimidate the maritime industry.
- President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over while Tehran claims the Strait of Hormuz is again closed; these tit-for-tat strikes have significantly disrupted shipping through the Persian Gulf, impacting global energy supplies.
