The British Maritime Trade Operations Organization announced on Wednesday morning (20 Aqrab 1405) that it had received reports of a security incident involving an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.
The organization has announced that the status of the crew, the extent of the damage, and the possible environmental consequences of the event are still unknown.
The statement asked ships near the scene of the incident to proceed with caution and report any suspicious events; some sources described the statement as the organization’s most vague announcement yet about the Strait of Hormuz incidents.
