[British Agency: Six Vessels Attacked on the Same Day in the Strait of Hormuz and Nearby Waters] Golden Finance reported that on October 13, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) issued multiple maritime alerts indicating that six vessels were consecutively attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters of the Gulf of Oman on October 11. According to the alerts, four oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz were attacked by "unknown projectiles" while exiting the strait. A container ship was struck by "unknown projectiles" while entering the strait. Additionally, an oil tanker near the Sohar anchorage at the eastern entrance of the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman was attacked by a drone, and local authorities assisted in evacuating the crew. Recently, tensions between the United States and Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz have continued to escalate. Since late September, incidents of vessel attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters have occurred frequently, with casualties rising and risks spreading to the waters of neighboring countries such as Qatar, the UAE, and Oman.
