A tanker was struck by two projectiles about 72 nautical miles east of Ras al-Khafji, Saudi Arabia, overnight, the UK's maritime agency UKMTO said, with all crew accounted for. No environmental damage was reported. Hours earlier, an Emirati-owned tug was hit in the Strait of Hormuz and reported partially sinking. It is at least the fifth energy vessel struck by suspected Iranian attacks since Thursday.
