Iran fired at least two missiles at commercial ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reported early Tuesday morning, citing a US official.
According to the report, both ships were damaged significantly, but there were no casualties.
This came shortly after a report from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO) stated that a tanker was hit by an unknown projectile while traveling about eight nautical miles (14.8 km) east of Oman’s Limah, causing a fire.
This is a developing story.
