An Iranian missile attack on two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz resulted in one Indian sailor being killed and six others injured, according to the United Arab Emirates. The attack occurred while the tankers, Mombasa and Al Bahiyah, were traveling through the southern shipping lane of the strait within Omani territorial waters. The UAE's Ministry of Defence confirmed that the incident caused significant damage to the vessels but noted that the fires had been controlled. Iran claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that its forces targeted the tankers, which they described as 'offending' and accused the U.S. of deceiving them into taking the southern route by disabling their navigation systems. The incident comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with the U.S. having launched strikes in response to previous attacks on tankers in the region. The UAE has condemned the attack as a violation of international law and warned it would take necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and security.
