An explosion, possibly caused by an attack, damaged an oil tanker on Wednesday near the mouth of the Persian Gulf, Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines said.
The company said the blast on its tanker M. Star caused one minor injury, but did not cause an oil leak.
The ship was damaged due to "an explosion from a suspected attack from the outside" in the waters off Oman, near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, the company said.
