What happened
UKMTO Warning 181-26 records a company security officer’s delayed report of a tanker struck by an unknown projectile at 17:15 UTC+0 on 22 October, seven nautical miles northeast of Limah, Oman, while outbound through the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel continued to its next port of call. The original PDF does not identify the vessel, cargo, damage extent, casualties, pollution or attacker; continued passage does not prove no damage. This is one 22 October incident, not an additional attack on the 23 October publication date or the 25 October review date. The marker is an approximate offshore reference, not a published impact coordinate. Vessel identity remains unavailable, preventing a verified actual-vessel image match. Updated on 25 October 2026, 01:00 UTC+0.
