UAE says Iran attacked two ADNOC vessels in Strait of Hormuz; no injuries
The UAE said the drone strikes caused minor damage and no casualties, underscoring risks to ships in a waterway carrying about a fifth of global oil and gas.
- On the evening of Thursday, August 13, two commercial oil tankers affiliated with the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company were struck by uncrewed aerial vehicles while conducting outbound transits through the Strait of Hormuz.
- ADNOC and the British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations confirmed that all crew members were safe, no injuries occurred, and the vessels suffered only minor damage before the situation was brought under control.
- The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the strike as a "hostile Iranian attack," accusing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of engaging in acts of piracy and using the strategic choke point for economic coercion and blackmail.
- This incident marks the second attack targeting ADNOC-linked vessels in less than a week, following a similar strike reported by Emirati authorities days prior amid ongoing regional tensions and shipping disruptions in the strait.
- The UAE and regional allies like Egypt urged Iran to halt unprovoked attacks on commercial shipping, demanding full compliance with international law and the complete, unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to safeguard global energy security.
