According to reports, a cargo ship was attacked by unknown assailants while navigating through the strait. Another incident involved a naval vessel being targeted, resulting in damage and injuries to crew members. A third report mentions an oil tanker being struck, although the extent of the damage is unclear.

Separately, 32 countries have agreed on releasing a significant amount of oil from strategic reserves, which has been described as the “largest ever” such release. The move aims to stabilize global energy markets and mitigate the impact of supply disruptions.
