Tanker struck by projectiles in southeast Arabian Gulf, maritime authority says

A maritime authority has reported that a tanker was struck by two unidentified projectiles on its port side in the southeast Arabian Gulf, according to Al-Sharq.

The authority did not disclose the status of the crew or the nationality of the vessel, as tensions remain high due to US-Iranian conflict and Iran's targeting of oil tankers.

Qatar Gas Transport Company (Nakilat) earlier announced that its LNG carrier "Al Mayeda" was attacked by unidentified objects while sailing in the Arabian Gulf.
