The UAE says two of its national tankers were struck by Iranian cruise missiles in the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz in Omani territorial waters.
Officials say one Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured, including four seriously.
Authorities say fires aboard both vessels have been brought under control, and the UAE has vowed to respond.
