ADNOC vessel hit in third Strait of Hormuz attack in a week as regional tensions escalate
Story Timeline
10 days · 10 summary articles
A third attack in a week struck a vessel operated by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company as it transited the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, according to the state-owned firm. ADNOC confirmed the incident but did not disclose the vessel’s identity, the extent of damage, or the method of attack, stating only that no crew members were injured and the situation was contained .
The UK Maritime Trade Operations office later reported a separate incident on Saturday, stating that a bulk carrier was struck by an unknown projectile, likely an Iranian missile, in the same waterway. No casualties or damage were reported .
The attacks follow a pattern of escalating tensions in the region. On Friday, Yemen’s internationally recognized government said Houthi rebels fired six ballistic missiles at the Red Sea port of al-Makha, killing at least four civilians and setting several fishing boats ablaze. Military officials cited by AFP placed the death toll at eight, including two security personnel. The Houthis claimed they targeted weapons and warships linked to Saudi-backed forces, describing the strike as a response to Saudi military activity in Yemen’s Saada governorate .
Separately, Houthi-run media reported a drone strike on an Aramco facility in the Saudi city of Najran, though Saudi authorities and Aramco did not immediately confirm the attack . The group had previously claimed a drone attack on an Aramco refinery in Jazan on Thursday.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments, has seen commercial traffic dramatically reduced amid the tensions. ADNOC’s fleet has been a repeated target, with two prior attacks on its vessels recorded earlier in the week. The United Arab Emirates has previously blamed Iran for similar incidents, though no responsibility was assigned for the latest strike .
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory, a move Iran rejected. “The Strait of Hormuz belonged to Iran, belongs to Iran, and will belong to Iran,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kasem Gharibabadi wrote on X, adding that Tehran would not be intimidated by threats or displays of power .
The UK has urged Iran to cease its support for the Houthis, citing risks to Yemen and Red Sea security . The International Maritime Organization has warned of the growing dangers faced by seafarers in the region, with Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez noting that crews are increasingly exposed to drone and missile threats .
