The British Maritime Trade Operations reported today that it received a report of an incident involving a commercial ship and military forces about 100 nautical miles east of Duqm in Oman.

The British authority, as reported by Al Jazeera, said: 'We received a report of an incident involving a commercial ship and military forces about 100 nautical miles east of Duqm in Oman,' noting that the reports indicate the tanker was involved in friction as part of ongoing military activity in the area.

The British authority had said that a tanker was hit by an unknown projectile yesterday while sailing about 19 nautical miles east of Khasab in Oman, as reported by Reuters, which confirmed the crew is safe and there are no reports of environmental impact.

The renewed escalation of fighting between the United States and Iran has led to a near-complete halt in traffic through Hormuz, the world's most important oil and gas shipping lane, driving up global energy prices.

Meanwhile, the navigation data site Kepler reported today that shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has stopped, confirming that no oil tanker has left the strategic waterway for the second consecutive day.
