Two supertankers carrying Saudi crude were hit by unknown projectiles within minutes of each other late Monday while transiting outbound through the Strait of Hormuz. Shipping intelligence and tracking firms Marisks and Kpler reported the incidents. Each vessel had loaded 2 million barrels of Saudi crude at the Juaymah terminal the previous week. Marisks described the near-simultaneous strikes as a further escalation in the threat environment within the Omani corridor.
