Anadolu Agency reported that the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) issued a tanker alert concerning the Strait of Hormuz, without describing what had happened.
Anadolu said the alert referred to information from military authorities.
UKMTO reported a tanker strike off Oman, while ADNOC said one of its vessels was damaged in UAE waters. The Associated Press said it had no independent confirmation of Iran’s account.
UKMTO's combined estimate rose from 241 the prior week and remained about 70% below pre-conflict levels; the center said it could not verify U.S.-reported passages or the total.
