What happened

A third party reported that an unidentified projectile struck a tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz and that the vessel was believed to have structural damage. No casualties or environmental impact were reported. JMIC later described the vessel as a VLCC and placed the incident approximately 16 nautical miles east of Khor Fakkan. The vessel identity, cargo, projectile source, and responsibility were not established in the UKMTO warning.

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.
