Disputed · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
Several posts relay UKMTO reports of projectile strikes on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on 11 October 2026. Middle East Spectator, citing a delayed UKMTO report, attributes a strike on an oil tanker to Iran and calls it the fourth vessel struck there since the previous day, while OSINTdefender relays UKMTO as describing an unknown projectile and MenchOsint reports three incidents (a cargo ship and two oil tankers) in the southern corridor. MenchOsint also says the tanker EVER VICT has switched its AIS back on and is drifting near the strait, which no other listed source confirms.
