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.
