UK Maritime Trade Operations said a tanker reported being struck by multiple projectiles 51 nautical miles north of Madinat ash Shamal, Qatar, at 19:00 UTC on October 7. Its Warning 158-26 reported casualties but gave no count or details about whether people were killed or injured. The notice did not identify the vessel or say who was responsible for the attack. UKMTO said authorities were investigating and advised vessels to transit cautiously and report any suspicious activity to the agency.
