Summary

A tanker was struck by projectiles approximately 51 nautical miles off the coast of Qatar in the Persian Gulf on October 5-7, 2026, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations and multiple government reports. Twelve crew members, including Indian nationals and at least one Filipino sailor, were injured in the incident and evacuated for medical treatment. India's Ministry of External Affairs and the Philippines' Department of Migrant Workers reported the attack, while Iran has denied involvement in the broader spate of tanker strikes in the region. The incident occurred amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where multiple vessels have been targeted in recent weeks, prompting shipping companies to reconsider transits through the waterway. The Omani Defense Ministry has not confirmed the incident.
