Meanwhile, the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported early Friday that a fire broke out on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz after a small boat approached and attached two explosive devices to its hull.

According to the agency, citing a verified report, the incident occurred on Thursday when explosions caused a fire in the engine room, temporarily leaving the vessel unable to maneuver.
