A vessel belonging to “ADNOC Logistics & Services” was damaged in an attack Tuesday in the United Arab Emirates’ territorial waters in the Gulf, according to Anadolu Agency.
The maritime logistics arm of state-owned “Abu Dhabi National Oil Company” said the attack took place Tuesday afternoon, in a statement carried by the official “Emirates News Agency” (WAM).
“Response efforts by the relevant teams are ongoing,” the company said, adding that it would provide updates as more information became available.
The statement did not identify the vessel or say who was behind the attack.
The incident came as mediators continued efforts to end the war that began on Feb. 28 with US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
Washington and Tehran reached a cease-fire in April, but hostilities resumed in July. Disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have strained supply chains.
