Tanker hit by multiple projectiles in Gulf off Qatar, maritime agency says

A merchant tanker named Acers was struck by multiple projectiles 51 nautical miles north of Madinat al-Shamal, Qatar. The incident, which resulted in reported casualties, represents a rare deep-Gulf attack amid the ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran. The attack occurred while the vessel was sailing toward the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy corridor currently experiencing a collapsed peace agreement and resumed naval blockades.
