A tanker belonging to the UAE’s state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was targeted while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, a day after two other ADNOC vessels came under attack in the strategic waterway.

The latest incident occurred on the evening of August 14, according to ADNOC.

No injuries were reported, and the situation was brought under control.

ADNOC stressed the importance of protecting the safety and well-being of seafarers, maintaining freedom of navigation and safeguarding maritime security.

The incident came a day after two ADNOC tankers were targeted while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

No deaths or injuries were reported in that incident either.

The attack was the ​third such incident involving ADNOC vessels in less than a week.

The UAE had accused Iran of ​being behind the earlier attacks, but ​there was no official comment from the UAE on ‌Friday’s ⁠attack.

Qatar and Kuwait condemned the attacks on the ADNOC vessels and expressed solidarity with the UAE.

In separate statements, the two Gulf states described the attacks as a blatant violation of international law and freedom of maritime navigation, as well as a breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2817.

Qatar also described the attacks as a “tool of pressure” and called on Iran to halt attacks against neighbouring countries.

Both countries reaffirmed their “full solidarity with the UAE” and support for measures taken by Abu Dhabi to protect its assets.

ADNOC has previously said the ongoing war has had a “significant” impact on its operations but stressed that the safety of its personnel and assets remained its priority.

Iran has not publicly responded to the UAE’s latest allegations regarding the tanker attack.
