The oil tanker belongs to the state-owned oil company ADNOC, and the attack is said to have occurred while the ship was passing through the strait, which is so important for world trade.
According to the Emirati Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was a rocket attack. No one was reported to have died in the incident.
15 of ADNOC's ships have been attacked in Hormuz since the US started its war against Iran, "including three ships this week alone," the company said in a statement on Friday.
