Oil slick from attacked tanker washes ashore on UAE beaches

Oil from a tanker attacked near the Strait of Hormuz is spreading along the UAE coastline, forcing some beaches to close. Satellite images suggest the leak came from a vessel matching the Gem No.2, damaged on 9-10 October. By Wednesday the slick stretched more than 35km, and authorities said beaches near Umm Al Quwain were affected, threatening marine wildlife.
