Saudi Arabia blames Iran for tanker attack that killed two Filipino sailors
–
Neutral summary
Saudi Arabia's national shipping company Bahri confirmed that two Filipino seafarers died in a “security incident” involving its vessel SIDR in the Strait of Hormuz on the evening of August 31. Riyadh accused Iran of attacking the tanker, which was reportedly hit by unknown projectiles. The incident occurred 17 nautical miles northeast of Oman's port city of Khasab, and SIDR was one of two supertankers carrying Saudi oil reported to have been struck late Monday. Bahrain condemned the attack, while Tehran had previously threatened tankers attempting to transit the strait without authorisation.
