Unverified: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- voz.us reports an attack on two oil tankers, while the UKMTO-attributed posts (Azerbaijani relay, A News, Sunday Guardian) refer to one tanker.
- The Times of India reports an RPG attack that damaged a tanker with the crew safe; none of the UKMTO-attributed posts mention a weapon, damage or crew status.
- No listed source names an attacker, and the incident time is not stated; the reported times range from 07:41 to 20:25 UTC, which are publication times, not incident times.
- The voz.us and Times of India posts cite no identifiable source, so their basis for the details is unknown.
