The British Maritime Trade Operations Organization (UKMTO) announced on Tuesday, November 10 that it had received a report that an oil tanker had been hit by an unidentified jet about 19 nautical miles (about 35 km) northeast of the "Lima" area in Oman.
The organization announced that the ship's crew is safe and there have been no reports of environmental damage so far. Also, the ship's captain plans to assess the damages in the early hours of the next day. This incident occurred in continuation of the series of maritime security risks in the waters of the region and made the monitoring of the traffic situation of the oil tankers doubly sensitive.
The ISNA news agency quoted the Revolutionary Guards Navy as saying that this incident was caused by "hitting a mine on an illegal route." According to ISNA, this tanker is on fire.
