According to UKMTO, as relayed by Tabz Live News, a small boat planted two explosives on the port side of an unnamed oil tanker, causing an engine-room fire that temporarily disabled the vessel. The fire has since been extinguished and the tanker is continuing its journey. The Tabz post describes the boat as likely an IRGC Navy speedboat; that is the outlet's assessment, not an attribution stated by UKMTO in the claim.
