No injuries reported as UK maritime agency says projectile struck tanker off Qatari coast

A tanker has been hit by a projectile in the Gulf, off the coast of Qatar’s capital Doha, a British maritime security agency says, reporting some damage but no casualties.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations says it received a report of an incident 17 nautical miles (31 kilometers) north of Doha that a “tanker has been hit by unknown projectile on the port side causing damage to the hull above water line. The crew are reported as safe.”

It adds there is “no environmental impact” and that authorities are investigating the incident.
