What happened

Iranian cruise missiles struck the ADNOC L&S-operated VLCCs Al Bahyah and Mombasa B while they transited the Strait of Hormuz, causing significant damage. UAE authorities reported that one Indian seafarer was killed and eight people were injured, four seriously. ADNOC L&S confirmed the two projectile attacks; this grouped record does not imply that both vessels suffered identical damage or casualties.
