Two Saudi oil supertankers struck in Strait of Hormuz, near-simultaneous attacks

Two supertankers carrying Saudi oil were hit by unknown projectiles within minutes of each other while transiting outbound through the Strait of Hormuz, per shipping intelligence firms Marisks and Kpler. The near-simultaneous nature marks an escalation in the threat environment in the Omani corridor, though attribution and extent of damage remain unconfirmed. This raises risks to Gulf oil transit and maritime security, potentially impacting global energy markets.
