The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) issued a maritime attack warning after receiving a report that an unidentified projectile struck a vessel about 7.5 nautical miles off the Omani coast. The projectile hit the ship's starboard side, damaging the bridge area. No casualties or environmental pollution have been reported so far. The incident occurred just hours after Iran warned that unlicensed vessels transiting the region could face "consequences."
