Two tankers hit by projectiles, debris in Strait of Hormuz, maritime agency says

Authorities said the tankers continued under their own power, and one had 2 crew members with minor injuries as investigators reviewed the attacks.

  • A Liberia-flagged LPG tanker, M.T. Al Maryah, was struck by a drone on Sunday near the Strait of Hormuz; all 19 crew members, including nine Indian nationals, are confirmed safe.
  • The incident occurred amid heightened maritime security concerns in Hormuz, where Tehran has asserted control over much of the waterway since the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28.
  • Maritime authorities report 145 Indian seafarers are aboard vessels in the Persian Gulf; four incidents involving Indian-flagged vessels and 58 foreign-flagged ships have resulted in 10 fatalities and 12 injuries.
  • The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center stated the vessel is safely anchored at Khor Fakkan under its own power, while authorities advised transiting vessels to exercise caution.
  • Despite Sunday's reported quiet, the broader region faces persistent instability evidenced by Friday's military parade in Tehran, complicating commercial shipping operations and creating ongoing safety risks.
