Single source · Sohar Anchorage, Oman (approximate: Gulf of Oman) ·
UKMTO reports that on 11 October 2026 a tanker was struck by an uncrewed aerial vehicle at the anchorage off Sohar, Oman, and that the crew were evacuated. Its later report names the vessel as the products tanker PETRO DOLPHIN, and the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, as cited in that report, says two crew members are missing. A NAVAREA IX warning (372/26) says the vessel was drifting about 50 NM northeast of Sohar port as of 14 October.

Sources disagree on:
- The 11 October post does not mention missing crew; the later UKMTO report, citing the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, says two crew members are missing. This is not a direct contradiction but the crew status is unresolved and the missing count rests on a single relayed attribution.
- The earlier post describes only a 'tanker' without naming it; the later report names PETRO DOLPHIN as a products tanker.
- Neither claim names who launched the UAV, so the attacker is unattributed.
