Drop site translated from English An oil tanker was hit by two projectiles 72 nautical miles (about 83 miles) east of Ras al-Haji, the Saudi city bordering Kuwait in the northern Persian Gulf, the UK Maritime Trade Agency (UKMTO) said on Sunday. It was the second ship attack of the day, and it happened hundreds of kilometers from the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier on Sunday, the UKMTO said the captain of a merchant ship relayed a call from Mayday reporting that "another vessel has been hit by an unknown stick" in the Strait. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy said two tankers hit naval mines while following an "unauthorized route in the strait" and that one of them, a supertanker, "was engulfed in flames after a strong explosion". The Revolutionary Guards said that the ships turned off their tracking systems and ignored radio warnings, and that their owners "will bear full responsibility for all the consequences arising from this unauthorized passage." The attacks follow the Revolutionary Guards' claim on Thursday that four oil tankers had hit mines in the US-promoted southern route, and an attack on Friday on the Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier Al Maida. On Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araji, demanded to recognize Iran's established maritime route with Oman "and to close other routes".
