UKMTO reports two tanker incidents off Oman as Kuwait says it intercepts Iranian drones

The UKMTO reported two maritime incidents off Oman's coast involving tankers damaged by unknown projectiles and explosions. One incident occurred near Lima, damaging a tanker's engine room and leaving it out of control, while another near Khasab involved a reported explosion without damage. These incidents highlight increased security risks in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route. Separately, Kuwait claimed to have intercepted and destroyed Iranian drones targeting its territory, resulting in damage to government and civilian properties but no casualties.
