UK says four suspicious vessels spotted near Omani gas terminal
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency says that a vessel reported a “suspicious” sighting of three small craft and another large one approximately 175 nautical miles east of Oman’s Qalhat LNG terminal.
The notice comes after the US said it struck two Houthi UAVs and four anti-ship cruise missiles that posed a threat to vessels in the Red Sea.
