A tanker crossing the Strait of Hormuz was attacked when a small boat attached two explosive devices to its hull, sparking an engine-room fire and briefly disabling it, the UK Maritime Trade Operations said. The incident occurred about 25 nautical miles northeast of Khasab, Oman. All crew are safe, there was no environmental impact, and the vessel has resumed its voyage.
