UAE Tanker Attacked by Iranian Drones Near Omani Coast, Marine Fuel Leaked

A UAE fuel tanker was attacked by two Iranian drones while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in a limited leak of marine fuel off the Omani coast. The owning company reported that the vessel remains anchored near the Omani coast, was not carrying any cargo at the time of the attack, and no crew injuries were recorded. Satellite images showed an oil slick behind the ship near the Musandam Peninsula, which independent experts confirmed was "consistent with an oil spill," while specialized sources noted the slick's disappearance in later images. This development comes amid escalating maritime tensions in the region.
