The Al Mayida tanker, which was carrying liquefied natural gas from Qatar to Pakistan, was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz on October 30, Nikkei Asia writes. The vessel, with a crew of 25, escaped serious damage but was forced to return to its home port. The incident led to an increase in insurance premiums for crossing the strait, which threatens Pakistan's energy supply: in August, due to interruptions in the supply of LNG, electricity production in the country was already reduced by 18%, or 3.6 thousand megawatts.
