A second oil tanker was reportedly struck while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, further escalating concerns over the security of one of the world's busiest and most strategically important maritime trade routes. According to maritime reports, the incident occurred around the same time another oil products tanker was also reportedly attacked in the area.

The first tanker reportedly sustained damage that led to an engine room fire, forcing the crew to abandon the vessel. All crew members were later rescued, according to initial reports. Meanwhile, the second vessel, identified as the VLCC Acheloos, was also reportedly hit, although the extent of the damage has not yet been officially confirmed.

Authorities and maritime security organizations are continuing to assess both incidents. Investigations remain ongoing, and details regarding the cause of the reported attacks, the condition of the second vessel, and any possible casualties have yet to be officially released.

As of this writing, there is no official confirmation that Filipino seafarers were among the crew of the affected vessels. MARINO PH is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to provide updates as more verified information becomes available from the relevant authorities and official sources.
