ADNOC Vessel Targeted by Missile in Strait of Hormuz, UAE Blames Iran
An Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) vessel was targeted by a missile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz early on August 8, with no reported injuries. The UAE government condemned the attack, attributing it to Iran and describing it as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions and an act of piracy by Iran's Revolutionary Guards. ADNOC reported that 15 of its vessels have faced missile and drone attacks in the strait since February amid ongoing regional tensions. Iran has not officially responded to the latest incident.
