Tanker hit by two projectiles off Qatar, one unexploded: UKMTO

A tanker struck off Qatar was hit by two projectiles, one causing a fire that has since been extinguished and another remaining unexploded in the vessel's engine room, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Wednesday.

The ⁠vessel was struck about 17 nautical miles (31 km) north of Qatar's Ras Laffan industrial hub, causing damage above the waterline, with the crew safe and no environmental impact reported.

UKMTO said it was unable to confirm the source of the projectiles ⁠and that investigations were ongoing.
