A liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, the Indian Embassy in Iran confirmed.
The vessel, carrying 28 Indian crew members, came under fire, but the embassy stated that all personnel are safe.
The incident marks the latest escalation in a corridor that has seen repeated targeting of commercial shipping in recent weeks.
The attack reinforces the persistent security premium embedded in global energy markets.
Brent crude and tanker freight rates remain sensitive to any disruption in the Strait, which handles roughly a fifth of the world's oil supply.
Traders are closely monitoring whether this event triggers a fresh spike in insurance premiums or forces carriers to reroute, which would tighten supply further.
