UKMTO reports a tanker hit by two unidentified projectiles 50 nm off Qatar's north coast; Iran separately says five tankers and a tugboat caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz. The incident suggests a coordinated attack on shipping in a critical chokepoint, though damage and attribution remain unconfirmed. This escalates maritime risk in the strait, threatening global oil transit.
