What happened

The Gibraltar-flagged bunkering tanker was struck by an unknown projectile while under way near Ras Al Khaimah. A resulting fire was extinguished and the vessel returned to anchorage in Dubai. Reporting on casualties has varied between accounts describing the crew as safe and a Wikipedia-compiled casualty count of one fatality; the discrepancy was not resolved in the sources reviewed.

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.
