Four commercial vessels have been targeted by “sabotage operations” near the territorial waters of the United Arab Emirates without causing casualties.
The foreign ministry said the incident occurred near the UAE emirate of Fujairah, one of the world’s largest bunkering hubs which lies just outside the Strait of Hormuz.
Trading and industry sources said operations at Fujairah port ran smoothly on Sunday.

The strait, a vital global oil and gas shipping route, separates the Gulf states and Iran, which has been embroiled in an escalating war of words with the United States over U.S. sanctions and the U.S. military’s regional presence.
