Two Filipino sailors were killed when a Saudi oil tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack happened earlier this week, and it was reported that the ship was hit by "unknown projectiles." This incident comes amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, as both countries have been involved in conflicts in the region. The Saudi shipping company, Bahri, confirmed that their vessel, named SIDR, was involved in this security incident. Reports indicated that two oil tankers were struck by projectiles, and there were also claims that some tankers caught fire after hitting mines in the area. This situation is part of a larger conflict, with Iran disrupting shipping routes and the US responding with its own military actions. The Strait of Hormuz is an important waterway for oil transport, and attacks on ships there have previously escalated tensions between the two nations.
