What happened
A verified source reported to UKMTO that an inbound LPG tanker was struck by an unknown projectile during a Strait of Hormuz transit at 17:16 UTC on 4 October. Warning 153-26 did not identify the vessel, flag, owner, cargo quantity, attacker or projectile, and the reviewed initial reporting did not establish casualties, pollution, propulsion loss, damage extent or a precise position. The vessel class and reported time distinguish it from the crude-tanker strike reported at 19:07 UTC.
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.
