At a time when hostilities have once again escalated, causing shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to a near standstill, another tanker was attacked in the strait. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthis threatened to impose a blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, further increasing shipping risks in the region. According to the British Maritime Trade Operations Department, an oil tanker was hit by an unknown projectile in the northeastern waters of Lima, Oman. In the previous few days, ships operated by Dynacom Tankers Management Ltd. had been attacked one after another. No ships were observed passing through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, according to ship tracking data. Iran's recent series of attacks have mainly targeted oil tankers crossing the strait along the coast of Oman, and these tankers usually turn off transponders. Although the identity of the latest ship hit has yet to be determined, previous attacks have affected large operators, such as South Korea's Sinokor Group and Greece's Dynacom, which played a critical role in maintaining crude oil supplies for much of the war.
