The British Maritime Trade Action Office issued a notice on the 5th saying that an oil tanker was hit by an “unknown projectile” in the Strait of Hormuz on the same day. The ship's cabin caught fire, and the crew was carrying out fire extinguishing operations. The report quoted the ship's captain's report as saying that there are currently no reports of casualties, and no environmental damage has been detected. The agency issued several notices earlier in the day showing that two tankers and a liquefied petroleum gas carrier were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on the 3rd and 4th, while another tanker was persuaded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran to return on the 5th.
