Projectile Hits Tanker in Strait of Hormuz in Latest Maritime Alert

The attack follows a series of security incidents in the region, including the disablement of the Panama flagged merchant vessel Ocean Molica by US Central Command on Saturday for attempting to run an Iranian blockade. Separately, NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System detected a thermal anomaly off Liwa, Oman, at 04:05 UTC on October 11, though authorities have not confirmed if this is related to the tanker strike.
