Navy Public Relations:
🔹 An oil tanker encountered an incident and caught fire after hitting a naval mine in the restricted and dangerous area east of the Strait of Hormuz. The tanker turned off its navigation systems.
🔹Shipowners should pay attention to the fate of such rogue ships attempting to cross restricted areas by disabling their detection systems. Unauthorized navigation in high-risk areas may lead to encounters with sea mines and fires.
