UKMTO issued warning after tanker hit by unknown projectile east of Oman

UKMTO reported that at 2230 UTC a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile in its port bow about 6 nautical miles east of Oman; the crew was reported safe and no environmental impact was reported.

Why this matters. Even during intensified diplomacy, maritime incidents in Hormuz-linked waters continued, sustaining insurance and routing risk for energy-linked shipping flows.
