UAE’s ADNOC says one of its vessels came under attack while transiting Hormuz

-

CAIRO, Aug ‌15 (Reuters) - UAE's Abu Dhabi National Oil ​Company said on Saturday that one of its ⁠vessels came under attack while transiting the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier, the ​Emirati state news agency WAM reported.

The state oil ‌company said no injuries were reported, with the situation now under control, according to WAM.

The ⁠attack was the third such ⁠incident involving ADNOC vessels in less than a week. The UAE had accused Iran of being behind the earlier attacks, but ‌there was no official comment from the ⁠UAE on Friday's attack.

About ‌a fifth of the world's ​oil and liquefied natural gas passed through the narrow waterway between Oman and Iran ‌before the conflict. Since ​the U.S.-Israeli war ⁠with Iran broke out on February ‌28, shipping has been ⁠repeatedly disrupted, raising freight rates and creating security concerns.

ADNOC is one of the world's ​largest energy producers ‌and exports crude oil, natural gas and refined ⁠products worldwide.
