What happened

UK Maritime Trade Operations classified Warning 108-26 as an attack after a verified source reported that an unidentified vessel approximately 18 nautical miles east of Khasab had been struck by an unknown projectile. The impact caused a fire that was subsequently extinguished. The vessel and crew were reported safe, and no environmental impact was reported. Authorities were investigating. The warning did not identify the vessel, flag, vessel class, cargo, projectile type or source, damage extent, responsibility, or incident time. The marker position is approximate, calculated eastward from Khasab using the distance published by UKMTO.

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.
