Two outbound tankers were struck by unidentified projectiles inside the Strait of Hormuz on Oct. 10–11, while the International Energy Agency urged faster diesel-stock releases as attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia renewed concerns about energy supplies. A tanker struck on Oct. 11 was hit on its port side inside the strait. The crew was safe, no environmental impact had been reported at the time, and authorities were investigating. A separate tanker was hit by an unknown projectile on Oct. 10, causing a fire. The crew was reported safe, while damage and environmental effects were initially unknown.
