UAE says crew member killed, 8 others hurt in Iran missile attacks on tankers in Hormuz

The UAE defense ministry says that two national tankers have been targeted by two Iranian cruise missiles in the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz in Omani territorial waters, killing one Indian crew member and wounding eight others, including four seriously.

The ministry says fires broke out on both tankers but have been brought under control. It condemns the attack as a serious breach of international law and says the UAE retains its full right to respond and take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and security.
