Tanker Struck by Projectile Near Hormuz, Sparking Fire

A tanker was struck by an unknown projectile approximately 8 nautical miles east of Limah, Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz, sparking a fire onboard with no reported casualties. The incident highlights continued elevated security risks in the region despite a recent U.S.-Iran ceasefire, with the traditional Traffic Separation Scheme remaining unsafe due to mine hazards and commercial traffic rerouted through a southern transit corridor.
