Iran hit a fully laden Kuwaiti oil tanker in the anchorage area of Dubai’s port, damaging the hull and starting a fire on board in an escalation of attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf.
The drone strike on the Al-Salmi, a Kuwait-flagged very large crude carrier, marks one of the most significant attacks on a vessel to date, targeting a fully loaded ship just 31 nautical miles northwest of Dubai, in a busy area used by ships waiting to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
