A products tanker caught fire about 8 nautical miles off Khasab on Oman's Musandam Peninsula and its crew was evacuated; a second outbound tanker was hit by a projectile with no injuries. Separately, CENTCOM said its aircraft struck the stern of the bulk carrier Huda east of Khor Fakkan after it tried to breach the blockade. CENTCOM says 147 ships have been turned back and five disabled since July.
