The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) reported on Thursday that two of its vessels were subjected to an attack while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. According to the statement released by the company, the incident occurred as the ships were navigating the vital maritime chokepoint, though no injuries were reported among the crews of either vessel.

Authorities in the region are expected to conduct a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. As of now, operations in the area continue to be monitored closely. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available from maritime authorities and the company's security teams.
