Three commercial tankers have been attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil trade. The latest incident involves a vessel struck by an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV), according to UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reports.

The attacks have raised concerns about the security of the region, with the Joint Maritime Information Centre (JMIC) warning of a 'severe' threat to maritime traffic. The Strait of Hormuz is a key chokepoint for oil exports, with over 20% of the world's seaborne oil passing through it. The recent attacks highlight the need for increased vigilance and cooperation among regional authorities to ensure the safe passage of vessels.
