Oil tanker 'struck by drone' off coast of Oman

An oil tanker owned by an Israeli billionaire has been struck by a bomb-carrying drone off the coast of Oman, an official has said.

The vessel, which is operated by Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping but owned by Idan Ofer, was attacked on Tuesday night, according to the Middle East-based defence source.

The operator said it was investigating after its ship was struck by what it described as a projectile.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, a British military organisation that monitors shipping in the region, said it was "aware of an incident", which is "being investigated".

The ship was identified as the Pacific Zircon.
