Qatar says cargo vessel coming from Abu Dhabi attacked in its waters
The fire was extinguished and no casualties were reported as officials said the strike was the latest in a series of Gulf vessel attacks.
A cargo vessel was attacked by a drone on Sunday in Qatari waters, causing a small fire that was contained, as it travelled from Abu Dhabi.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations said a bulk carrier reported being struck by an unknown projectile while sailing 23 nautical miles northeast of Doha, Qatar's capital.
Vessels in the area have been advised to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity to UKMTO.
