The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued a warning to commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz after they received a verified report of a vessel being struck by an unknown projectile while it transited the Strait of Hormuz.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued a warning to commercial vessels operating near the Strait of Hormuz after receiving a report that two vessels were struck by unknown projectiles approximately 4 nautical miles west of Khasab, Oman, with at least one vessel reportedly catching fire. The incident occurred near the entrance to the Strait and close to the maritime route established through Omani waters for vessels seeking to transit outside the main Iranian shipping lanes.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued two advisories following reports of suspected attacks on commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf. In the first incident, the master of a vessel reported directly to UKMTO that the vessel was struck by an unknown projectile while approximately 28 nautical miles off Al-Faw, Iraq. In a second incident reported just 18 minutes later, UKMTO received a third party report that a vessel was listing after reportedly being struck by an unknown projectile approximately 24 nautical miles off Port Rashid, United Arab Emirates. UKMTO has not attributed either incident to Iran. However, the reports surfaced following the Iranian warning that they would attack ships in or near ports friendly to U.S. forces.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued an advisory after receiving a report that several vessels in the Northern Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman were subject to disabling fire as part of ongoing military operations. The locations given by UKMTO are roughly the same as those mentioned in the release a short time ago from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announcing they had destroyed 3 Iranian tankers in response to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeting two U.S. Navy ships yesterday.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued a warning following the delayed report of an attack that occurred on August 31st in the Strait of Hormuz in which the 'incident' resulted in two casualties aboard a tanker.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has just issued a warning after receiving a report last evening that a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz inbound approximately 12NM north of Khasab, Oman. There are no casualties or environmental impact. The location of the attack would indicate the vessel was struck while using the U.S. established shipping route through Omani waters.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued an advisory nearly 36 hours after receiving a report of a tanker struck by an unknown projectile, resulting in a fire aboard the vessel. According to UKMTO, all crew members are safe and accounted for, and no environmental impact has been reported. The incident appears to be separate from, and occurred earlier than, today's reported attack on a Kuwaiti tanker in the same general area. Attribution and the circumstances surrounding the earlier incident remain under investigation.
