Two oil tankers reportedly attacked in Strait of Hormuz, FT says

  • Two oil tankers were reportedly attacked while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Three unidentified projectiles struck a vessel, with no casualties or damage reported.
  • UKMTO did not identify the vessel, and Sinokor has not confirmed the incident.

Two oil tankers were reportedly attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on August 31, according to a September 1 Financial Times report citing maritime security analysts. The vessels were identified as the Senegal Prosperity, owned by South Korean shipping company Sinokor Merchant Marine, and the Saudi Arabia-owned Sidr. Their names have not been officially confirmed because of poor communications in the strait. UKMTO (UK maritime security reporting body) said a vessel had been hit by three unidentified projectiles but reported no casualties or damage. Sinokor has not responded to the Financial Times’ requests for confirmation. The incidents come after the U.S. resumed attacks against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz following a one-month hiatus, as armed clashes between the two sides continue.
