A liquefied natural gas carrier was attacked in the Gulf of Oman.

Golden Ten Data reported on July 7 that a recording from a ship's public radio channel near the Strait of Hormuz shows that in the early morning of the 7th local time, a liquefied natural gas carrier in the Gulf of Oman sent out multiple distress signals after being attacked, reporting that the engine room was on fire but the crew were safe. In this recording provided to reporters by a merchant seaman, the attacked vessel reported that the engine room was on fire with thick smoke, it was impossible to further assess the damage to the hull, but all crew members were safe and had assembled on the starboard side. The attacked vessel requested support from nearby coastal radio stations and naval forces. The seaman told reporters that, based on the vessel name reported by the attacked ship, it was a liquefied natural gas carrier. Such carriers transport flammable cargo, and there is a high safety risk after being attacked.
