Tanker hit by 'unknown projectile' off Oman coast: UK maritime agency

A tanker was struck by a projectile off the coast of Oman, the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency said on Friday, as Iran and the United States exchanged fire over control of the Strait of Hormuz.

"A tanker has reported being hit by an unknown projectile causing minor structural damage to the port side," the British organisation said in a statement, reporting that it took place overnight and that all crew were safe and accounted for.
