An oil tanker flying the Palau flag, named 'Skylight', was attacked about five nautical miles off Musandam, Oman, according to the country's maritime security center. The incident left four people injured, while all 20 crew members were safely rescued. No further details about the nature or source of the attack were immediately available.
The attack occurred shortly after two drone strikes targeted Oman’s Duqm port, injuring a foreign worker. The report noted that this latest incident follows a series of attacks across several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Jordan, which Iran had previously acknowledged.
Authorities have not yet provided additional information on the attackers or the extent of the damage, leaving the situation under investigation.
