  "summary": "A tanker vessel was targeted by missiles near Qatar. According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, the incident occurred about 51 nautical miles from Madinat ash Shamal. The agency reported that the vessel came under a missile attack in waters near the Qatari city.\n\nThe UKMTO also reported that the tanker was struck by multiple projectiles, resulting in casualties, approximately 94 kilometers north of Madinat ash Shamal, as per Arutz Sheva - Israel National News.\n\nThe incident adds to the security risks around the Strait of Hormuz, which have been affecting oil markets. Brent has struggled to fall decisively below $100 despite the recovery in Gulf crude exports, with freight rates, war-risk insurance, and inefficient alternative shipping routes remaining exceptionally expensive.",
