An ​oil tanker leased to state-owned Qatar Energy ‌was hit by an Iranian cruise missile on Wednesday in Qatari waters, the defence ​ministry said.

Qatar was targeted by three ​cruise missiles coming from Iran; two ⁠were intercepted while the third hit ​the Aqua 1 fuel oil tanker, but ​caused no casualties.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim that the oil tanker they had struck belonged to Israel.

“An oil tanker belonging to the illegitimate and child-killing Zionist regime with the trade name ‘Aqua 1’ in the central region of the Persian Gulf was precisely targeted in the valiant missile battle of the IRGC naval forces, and is burning,” the Guards said in a statement carried by state television.

The vessel, located 17 nautical miles (31 km) north of Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial hub, the ​site of the world’s largest gas ​plant, sustained damage above the waterline, but no ‌environmental ⁠impact was reported, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and Qatar Energy said.

Threats to maritime traffic are growing as the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran ​intensifies ⁠across the region.

Iran has launched a series of attacks on Gulf ​oil and gas facilities following Israeli ​attacks ⁠on its own gas infrastructure.

The war has knocked out 17% of Qatar’s liquefied ⁠natural ​gas (LNG) export capacity, threatening ​supplies to Europe and Asia.
