What happened

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said one of its vessels was attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Friday local time, according to a CNN update citing the UAE's WAM state news agency. ADNOC said the situation was brought under control and no injuries were reported. CNN described this as the third reported attack on ADNOC tankers in under a week. The reviewed update did not identify the vessel, attack method, attacker, damage or precise location. This is recorded separately from the two-vessel incident reported the previous day because the update explicitly described a Friday attack; the records should be reconciled if ADNOC or maritime authorities later clarify that it referred to an earlier event.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
