UK receives report of vessel on fire

 The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) announced on Monday that it received "information from a third party" that a vessel was on fire.

According to the service's social media post, the incident was reported 14 nautical miles west of Mina Saqr, a United Arab Emirates port located on the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. The UKMTO said that the vessel in question asked nearby ships to "keep a safe distance."

The UKMTO noted that the cause of the fire has not been determined. However, the announcement came after the UAE reported a new wave of drone and missile strikes from Iran.
