Event details
The UAE's state oil company ADNOC said two of its tankers were hit by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one mariner and injuring several others. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said separately its forces attacked two supertankers transiting the strait with their transponders switched off.
Context
This is the first reported fatality on a UAE-flagged vessel, pulling a fourth Gulf state directly into the shipping war and raising the odds that insurers pull back from the strait entirely.
