An Emirati ship was targeted and suffered damage in UAE territorial waters on Tuesday afternoon, according to operator Adnoc Logistics and Services. The company has not disclosed specifics regarding the affected vessel, the severity of the damage, or any potential casualties. The attack in the Arabian Gulf is the most recent in a series of assaults on commercial shipping.
Iran has been accused of numerous attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and near the coasts of Oman and the UAE, frequently blaming operators for hitting sea mines. Iran's actions have faced condemnation. In July, two crude oil tankers belonging to Adnoc Logistics and Services were hit by projectiles in the strait, resulting in one crew member's death and injuries to others.
Another company ship was targeted in August, though there were no reported injuries. On Sunday, the UAE National Guard rescued 22 individuals after a blaze erupted on a cargo ship in the Sea of Oman. It remains unclear if the two incidents are related. Adnoc Logistics and Services, the maritime logistics division of Abu Dhabi's Adnoc Group, manages a fleet of vessels catering to the global energy sector. The company is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
