Iranian drone hits giant oil tanker in Kuwait

Kuwait has announced that Iran has hit one of its giant crude oil tankers, which is anchored in a Dubai port.

The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation described the incident as "a brutal Iranian airstrike" and reported that the ship suffered some damage but no casualties.

The Al Salmi tanker was fully loaded at the time of the attack, which caused a fire on board. Dubai authorities said a drone was involved in the attack and that the fire was brought under control within hours. They also said the 24 crew members were safe and unharmed.

Kuwait initially warned of a possible oil spill after the attack, but the UK's marine monitor said no environmental impact had been reported. Meanwhile, Kuwait's military said its air defenses were responding to hostile missile and drone attacks. /CNA
