- Qatari LNG tanker and Saudi crude oil ship damaged in Hormuz
A Qatari liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker, Al Rekayyat, and a Saudi crude oil tanker were damaged in the Hormuz strait after the Qatari vessel was struck by a drone, causing an engine room fire. The crew of the Al Rekayyat reported the ship was disabled without engines or steering, though all personnel were safe. The incidents occurred amid ongoing Gulf tensions following the mourning period for Iran's supreme leader.
