[British agency: 6 ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters on the same day] On October 13, the British Maritime Trade Action Office issued multiple maritime bulletins showing that a total of 6 ships were attacked in succession in the Strait of Hormuz and the nearby Gulf of Oman on the 11th. The report showed that four oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz waterway were attacked by "unidentified missiles" on their way out of the strait. A container ship was hit by an "unidentified projectile" while sailing into the strait. In addition, an oil tanker located near the Sohar anchorage in Oman near the eastern entrance of the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman was attacked by a drone. The relevant local departments assisted in the evacuation of the crew. Recently, the game between the United States and Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz has continued to escalate. Since the end of September, attacks on ships have occurred one after another in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, with casualties rising. The risk has also spread to the waters of neighboring countries such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
