Twin Attacks Shake Strait of Hormuz as Vessels Suffer Strikes Within Hours

Two vessels were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz within about eight hours: a tanker about 78 nautical miles north of Fujairah was struck by unknown projectiles with no injuries and no environmental impact reported, and a bulk carrier was attacked earlier about 11 nautical miles west of Sirik, Iran. All crew are safe, UKMTO said, while warnings to transit cautiously reflect heightened tensions as the U.S.-led blockade and related actions against Iran continue. The incident follows ongoing maritime disruption and broader geopolitical maneuvering, including President Trump’s statements about supporting neutral-flag ships.
