A tanker struck off Qatar was hit by two projectiles, one causing a fire that has since been extinguished and another remaining unexploded in the vessel’s engine room, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Wednesday.

The vessel was struck about 17 nautical miles (31 km) north of Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial hub, causing damage above the waterline, with the crew safe and no environmental impact, reported AFP.

Israel’s military said early on Wednesday it had carried out a “wide-scale wave of strikes” on Tehran.
