UKMTO: vessel struck by unknown projectile 13nm west of Al Jazeera, UAE, on Oct 9. Fire put out, crew status unknown, no claim. Sources name supertanker GEM NO.2 (unconfirmed). Strike outside Hormuz shows widening risk. #UAE #MaritimeSecurity
A dramatic photojournalistic scene shows the aftermath of an attack on the supertanker GEM NO.2 in the Gulf of Oman. A large, thick plume of grey smoke billows from the vessel's midsection, its structure visibly damaged by the impact. An orange enclosed lifeboat is positioned close to the port side, and a smaller rescue RHIB with two crew members is alongside, actively cooling the hull with a fire hose. The sea is dark and choppy under a somber, overcast sky, emphasizing the gravity of the incident. The tanker's name, "GEM NO.2," is clearly visible on the stern. The watermark "2K115" is in the lower right corner.
