British claim: A ship was targeted in the Oman Sea.
A British military group said in a brief statement that a ship had been targeted in the Oman Sea on Thursday evening, but did not provide further details.
Some British sources reported today (Friday) that a ship was targeted in the Oman Sea off the coast of this country.
According to the Associated Press, the British military group called “Maritime Commercial Operations” in a short statement announced the news, claiming that an investigation is underway.
Without giving further details on the identity or type of the ship, the group claims that it happened in the last minutes of Thursday evening in the northeast of the island of “Misireh”.
The place where the British claim the incident took place is about 300 kilometers from “Muscat”, the capital of Oman.
The Associated Press said the group did not provide further details about the incident, citing other sources, but speculating that the incident had nothing to do with piracy.
According to the report, the British group also claimed on Thursday that it was investigating another similar incident in the same area, about which it has provided more details so far.
The Omani government has not yet confirmed the attack on the ship near the country’s waters, and officials have declined to comment.
According to the Associated Press, the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, based in West Asian waters, also did not answer questions about the British group’s claim.
Hours after the report, the British Ministry of Defense claimed in a statement that the ship targeted in the Oman Sea was owned by the Zionist regime.
The Israeli merchant ship was targeted 280 km from the port of Al-Daqam, according to British naval officials, according to Sputnik.
