Oil tanker carrying 27 Indians attacked with limpet mines in Strait of Hormuz

A small boat attached two limpet mines to the Panama-flagged oil tanker Louise 1, 46 kilometers northeast of Oman, causing an engine room fire. The vessel carried 27 Indian seafarers, all of whom remained uninjured. This incident marks the first known use of limpet mines in the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Iran war began in February.
