An inbound LPG tanker and a crude tanker are struck by projectiles in the strait, UKMTO reports late; a third strike dates to 3 October
Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
UKMTO issued late warnings that an inbound LPG tanker was struck by an unknown projectile at 1716 UTC on 4 October and a crude oil tanker at 1907 UTC the same day, gCaptain reported. A further late report said a crude tanker was struck above the waterline during a transit on 3 October, with no time given, so it was unclear whether it was a separate attack. No casualties were reported in the summaries; gCaptain noted that delayed reporting made the number of incidents hard to establish.
