Tanker on fire off Saudi Arabia after strike by 'unknown projectile': Maritime agency

A tanker caught fire after being struck by an "unknown projectile" off the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia on Monday, a British maritime agency said.

"The Company Security Officer reported a tanker has been struck by unknown projectile causing a fire to the vessel on the main deck. All crew are safe and accounted for and no environmental impact has been reported," said the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).

The incident took place 63 nautical miles west from the Saudi city of Yanbu, the agency reported.
