UAE's ADNOC says one of its vessels came under attack while transiting Hormuz

CAIRO: UAE's Abu Dhabi National Oil Company said on Saturday that one of its vessels came under attack while transiting the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier, ‌the ⁠Emirati state ⁠news agency WAM reported.

The state oil ​company said no injuries were reported, with the ​situation now under control, according to WAM.

The attack was the third such incident ​involving ADNOC vessels ⁠in less ‌than a week. The ​UAE had ​accused Iran of being ⁠behind the earlier attacks, but there was ​no official comment from the ​UAE on Friday's attack.


About a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passed through the narrow waterway between Oman and Iran ‌before the conflict. Since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran broke ​out ​on February ⁠28, shipping has been repeatedly disrupted, raising freight rates and creating security concerns.

ADNOC is ​one of the world's largest energy producers and exports crude oil, natural gas and refined products worldwide.
