Confirmed · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
Indian minister Sarbananda Sonowal said the Saudi-flagged tanker NCC Fajr was involved in a possible attack in the Strait of Hormuz on 11 November and that the three Indian crew members and the rest of the crew are safe. UKMTO, citing a report from Omani military authorities, said NCC Fajr was attacked north of Khasab at about 02:00 UTC with the crew reported safe and no environmental damage; a UKMTO relay on Telegram gives 03:05 UTC and an unknown projectile striking an unnamed tanker. A Telegram OSINT channel, ME Observer, reported that a ship it described as violating was targeted in the Strait.

Verification
Confirmed: 3 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.
