The British Maritime Trade Operations Office issued a notice on the 18th local time saying that the agency had received a report on an incident in the Strait of Hormuz. The report said that an oil tanker was attacked by an “unknown projectile” and caused a fire. The fire has now been extinguished. All crew members are reported to be safe, and the impact on the environment has yet to be confirmed. The circular advises vessels to carefully pass through the relevant waters.
