Missiles Hit Two Ships in Strait of Hormuz; Tanker Catches Fire East of Oman

Iranian missiles struck two commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night. The vessels sustained significant damage but reported no casualties. U.S. officials said Iran's Revolutionary Guards fired at least two missiles during the incident.

A tanker caught fire after being hit by an unknown projectile east of Oman's Limah early on Tuesday. Britain's maritime security agency confirmed the fire on the tanker. Iranian officials offered no immediate comment on the reported attacks.

The incidents occurred amid ongoing regional tensions following an Iran cease-fire. No additional details about the cease-fire timeline were provided in the reporting. Officials have not released the names or nationalities of the affected vessels. No group has claimed responsibility for either incident.

The two ships hit in the Strait of Hormuz remained afloat after the strikes. Crew members on both vessels evacuated to safety without injury. Britain's maritime security agency issued an alert about the tanker fire east of Limah. The agency did not identify the vessel or state the cause of the projectile strike.
