A tanker was involved in an incident with military forces on Monday off the coast of Duqm, Oman.
The incident occurred at 10:00 UTC on Monday, approximately 121 nautical miles east of Duqm, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in a recent social media post today.
“Reports indicate that the tanker was subject to interaction as part of ongoing military activity in the region,” UKMTO said.
