Oman's navy evacuates 25 crew from the Panama-flagged RITI after it is targeted and catches fire off Musandam, Oman's maritime centre says

Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.

Oman's Maritime Security Centre said the Royal Navy of Oman evacuated 25 crew members from the Panama-flagged merchant vessel RITI, which it said was targeted and caught fire about 1.6 nautical miles off Musandam, and gave them medical care; the centre gave no further details, Reuters reported. The accounts found named no attacker and reported no injuries. The Maritime Executive reported that the RITI was laden and that a risk consultancy assessed the cause as an Iranian missile; that assessment is analysis, not a finding of this record. The IRGC Navy said the same day that tankers had been halted and others had hit mines south of the strait; no source found by the sweep tied the RITI to those statements.
