此事发生前几小时,英国海上贸易行动办公室(UKMTO)报告称,周四晚间,一艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡遭两枚爆炸装置袭击后起火,地点位于阿曼哈萨布东北约25海里处。
The incident came hours after the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that a tanker caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz after being attacked with two explosive devices Thursday evening, about 25 nautical miles northeast of Khasab, Oman.
UKMTO称,一艘小艇靠近油轮,在其水线以上船体两侧安装了两枚爆炸装置,导致机舱起火,船只暂时瘫痪。
UKMTO said a small boat approached the tanker and attached two explosive devices to its hull above the waterline, causing a fire in the engine room and temporarily disabling the vessel.
近几个月来,海湾、霍尔木兹海峡及周边水道发生一系列袭击和海上事件,商业航运面临的安全风险加剧,事态在此背景下发生。
The developments come amid heightened security risks to commercial shipping in the Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waterways following a series of attacks and maritime incidents in recent months.
伊朗与美国因霍尔木兹海峡航行问题持续紧张,该海峡是全球能源和大宗商品供应的关键航道。美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动袭击,4月达成停火。因双方谈判陷入停滞,华盛顿与德黑兰之间的战斗于7月重燃。
They also come amid continued tensions between Iran and the US over navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy and commodity supplies. The US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, before a ceasefire was reached in April. Fighting between Washington and Tehran resumed in July amid stalled negotiations between the two sides.
