Global shipping monitoring companies report that two supertankers carrying oil from Saudi Arabia were struck by unidentified projectiles just minutes apart while passing through the Strait of Hormuz late on Monday, September 9.

According to Reuters, the Greek maritime security company "Marisec" announced on Tuesday, September 10, that the supertanker "Sider" flying the Saudi flag was hit by unidentified projectiles approximately 16 nautical miles northeast of Khasab, Oman, at 19:52 GMT on Monday.

The maritime security company Vanguard Tech also stated that the tanker "Senegal Prosperity," flying the Liberian flag, was struck by three unidentified projectiles just minutes later, about 17 nautical miles east of Khasab.

Earlier, the UK Maritime Trade Operations organization reported an attack on this tanker, stating that three projectiles hit it while it was exiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Reports indicate that the crews of both tankers are safe, and both have stopped a short distance from each other.

Data from the company Kepler shows that each of these tankers loaded 2 million barrels of Saudi crude oil from the port of Jaimah in the Persian Gulf last week.

With the renewed escalation of tensions between Iran and the U.S., Brent crude prices rose nearly three percent on Monday, reaching $90.49, and continued to climb on Tuesday to around $91.15 per barrel.
