An LPG tanker transiting outbound from the Strait of Hormuz was struck by debris from an unknown projectile, UK Maritime Trade Operations said, though the vessel continued to its destination with all crew reported safe. Separately, two sailors went missing after a tanker, identified by Iran as the El Gaia, was attacked in the strait; Iran said the vessel caught fire after hitting mines, while the US said it was struck by a missile and then a drone. The incidents highlight the continuing maritime risks in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint, amid the ongoing Iran war and Tehran's threats to keep the strait closed.
