Strait of Hormuz's strategic shipping route is back in focus after a cargo vessel reported being struck by an unknown projectile off the coast of Oman. Strait of Hormuz's latest security incident prompted the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) to issue an alert after the vessel transmitted an emergency message over VHF Channel 16, reporting it had been hit around 20 nautical miles northeast of Al Khasab. The incident comes just one day after another reported explosion near a tanker in the same region, raising fresh concerns over maritime security in one of the world's busiest energy corridors. UKMTO has urged all vessels transiting the area to remain vigilant and immediately report suspicious activity. #oman #straitofhormuz #attack #ukmto #middleeast #cargoship #maritimesecurity #gulf #shipping #worldnews #iran #persiangulf #navy #oilroutes Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
