The British maritime agency United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) received a report of a tanker on fire 25 nautical miles northeast of Khasab, Oman, in the Strait of Hormuz, with the cause unknown at the time of the report — a later verified report confirmed the crew safe, with no environmental impact and the vessel proceeding to its next port, after it was approached on the port side by a small boat that attached two explosive devices to the hull above the waterline. A ship on fire was reported in the Strait, according to Arab News, citing the UKMTO, without details of the cause or any casualties.
