Tanker struck near Strait of Hormuz

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that an oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile and disabled off the coast of Oman.

The crew is safe, according to the UKMTO. Oil markets slipped despite the strike as Hormuz tensions persist.

The incident is the latest in a series of attacks in the region amid heightened US-Iran tensions.
