Three Tankers Hit Tuesday In Hormuz - Maritime Agency
A crude oil tanker, LNG tanker and a third vessel had each "been struck by an unknown projectile", the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) said, without elaborating.
The Strait of Hormuz is currently at the centre of the Middle East war between Iran and the United States.
Around a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passed through the strategic shipping lane before the war.
But since the conflict broke out, Tehran has been blocking the passage of commercial ships, firing on vessels it accuses of unauthorised crossings.
Washington has responded with a counterblockade of Iranian ports in an effort to prevent Tehran from exporting its oil.
