A tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz was hit by an unidentified projectile on Saturday, damaging the vessel's bridge, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).
The British maritime agency confirmed that all crew members on board are safe and accounted for following the incident.
The attack marks a further escalation in security threats within one of the world's most vital energy corridors.
The Strait of Hormuz handles a significant portion of global oil and liquefied natural gas trade, making any disruption to shipping lanes a direct risk to energy supply chains and freight costs.
This incident follows a recent pattern of heightened tensions in the region.
Earlier this week, reports indicated that the Strait had faced closures and strikes on military bases, signaling a sharp deterioration in the security environment for commercial shipping.
