  "account": "Oman is currently searching for two missing crew members aboard a tanker that was recently targeted in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The tanker, a Panama-flagged vessel named ELGAIA, was being towed to a port in Oman after a fire erupted in its engine room following the attack. The Omani Maritime Security Centre confirmed that a Royal Navy vessel had evacuated 23 crew members and provided them with medical care. Despite not disclosing the exact time of the attack, UKMTO reported that the tanker had been on fire on Saturday after being struck by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz.",
