The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that the tanker that caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by a small boat, from which two limpet mines were attached to the tanker's hull. The explosions caused a fire in the ship's engine room, leading to its temporary shutdown. The statement said the crew members are safe, no environmental damage was caused, and the fire has been extinguished. It was also noted that the ship is continuing on its way to its next destination port.
