Summary

A Panama-flagged commercial vessel MT On Peace was struck by a projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman on October 5, 2026. The strike injured 12 crew members, including 11 Indian nationals, who were evacuated and received medical treatment in Khasab, Oman. The origin of the projectile and those responsible remain unidentified; Oman's Defense Ministry has not confirmed the incident. The attack occurred amid a broader pattern of projectile strikes on tankers in the region, with reports indicating at least 12 attacks on vessels between late September and early October. The incident has contributed to reduced tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with shipowners reportedly dampening their appetite to sail through the waterway.
