LNG tanker hit by missiles near Strait of Hormuz

A tanker carrying liquefied natural gas through the Strait of Hormuz was struck by missiles overnight Saturday.

Axar.az reports, citing New York Post, that the incident comes as U.S. embassies in the region urge Americans to leave the Middle East amid growing fears of further escalation in the conflict with Iran.

The Gaslog Shanghai LNG ship sustained damage to its engine room, rendering it inoperable off the Omani coast.

The Bermuda-flagged carrier had picked up an LNG shipment from Qatar around July 27 and last sent a signal on Friday near the western entrance of Hormuz.
