Supertanker hit, ablaze near Oman in Strait of Hormuz

A 2.5M-barrel-capacity supertanker was struck and caught fire 8 km off the Omani coast in the Strait of Hormuz, per Anadolu Agency. The attacker is not yet identified, but the location suggests a potential escalation in maritime threats to a critical oil chokepoint. This could disrupt tanker traffic and raise oil price risk.
