US-Iran war news LIVE: The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a British maritime agency, on Friday (local time), said that two oil tankers were struck by “unidentified projectiles” in the Strait of Hormuz, marking the latest threat to shipping in the strategic waterway.
A tanker was hit by an unknown projectile while exiting the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, resulting in a small fire and power outage on board. The incident occurred as the vessel left the strategic waterway, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).
