Four Projectiles Strike Two Vessels Near Strait of Hormuz

Four unidentified projectiles struck two vessels about four nautical miles west of Khasab, Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz. A nearby vessel's master, positioned about six nautical miles south, reported witnessing the impacts. One vessel caught fire, while the condition of the second was unknown when the maritime warning was issued. Reports did not establish whether the objects were missiles or another kind of projectile. The vessels' names and flags, the attacker, damage assessments and any crew casualties remained unconfirmed, and UK Maritime Trade Operations advised ships in the area to exercise caution.
