A tanker has reportedly been attacked by two projectiles off Qatar, with one causing a fire, according to a British government agency monitoring maritime security in the region.
The incident was reported at 17 nautical miles north of Ras Laffan at 22:35 UTC on Tuesday, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in a social media post today.
“UKMTO can confirm the vessel was struck by two projectiles, it said in the post.
“One caused a fire, which has since been extinguished.
“The other remains unexploded within the vessel's engine room and is being investigated by the relevant authorities.
“UKMTO is unable to confirm the source of the projectiles and continues to investigate.”
