An oil tanker was struck by an unknown projectile off the coast of Khasab, Oman, last night, sparking a significant fire onboard, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).
The crew aboard the vessel is safe, officials confirmed. The fire has since been extinguished, though details regarding the cause of the strike and the extent of any damage remain unclear.
Authorities are investigating the incident, and additional information is expected to emerge as the situation develops.
