A projectile struck the Panama-flagged oil tanker MT On Peace as it transited the Strait of Hormuz off Oman on Tuesday, injuring 12 of its 19 crew members, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said.
The ministry said 11 of those injured were Indian nationals. Seventeen Indians were aboard the vessel, which is owned by Dubai shipping company Onex, according to The National. Omani authorities helped evacuate the injured, who were receiving medical treatment in Khasab, Oman.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations maritime security service reported that an outbound oil tanker had been struck above the waterline by an unknown projectile. No party was identified as responsible for the attack.
India condemned the strike and called for an immediate end to attacks on commercial shipping, seafarers and civilian infrastructure. It also urged the restoration of navigation and commerce through international waterways.
The incident followed other recent disruptions near the strait. UKMTO reported two tankers struck over the weekend, according to CNBC.
On Monday, another tanker 11 nautical miles north of Oman turned back after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to target it if it continued, according to a UKMTO incident report.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen until Tehran’s conditions were met, CNBC reported, citing Iran’s Nour News.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story can be made faithful by correcting the unsupported location wording for the weekend tanker strikes and the attribution and characterization of Ghalibaf’s statement. - "The incident followed other recent disruptions near the strait. UKMTO reported two tankers struck near Oman and Iran over the weekend.": CNBC says at least two vessels were struck over the weekend, with one four nautical miles east of Oman and another in the Strait of Hormuz; the story's phrasing 'near Oman and Iran' is not supported. - "Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen until Tehran’s conditions under an earlier interim agreement were met, according to Iran’s Nour News.": CNBC attributes the report to Nour News; the story omits CNBC as the source and inaccurately characterizes the conditions as 'under an earlier interim agreement' rather than based on the Islamabad Memorandum or Iran's conditions for ending the war.
