Confirmed · Arabian Gulf (approximate) ·
UKMTO reports that a tanker travelling eastbound in the Arabian Gulf was struck by an unknown projectile on 10 November 2026, with multiple casualties taken ashore for medical assistance. India's Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal says the Liberia-flagged VLCC MT Fujairah Energy was hit by a projectile in the Persian Gulf while sailing from Al Ruwais to Dubai, and that four crew were injured. The incident itself is not in doubt; the injury figures and vessel identification differ by source.

Verification
Confirmed: 2 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Independent origins agree and an official record, a neutral body or an admission against interest backs it. That is strong evidence, not certainty; it can still change.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
