A Saudi Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) named Sidr was targeted while transiting the southern Strait of Hormuz. The tanker, capable of carrying approximately 2.0–2.2 million barrels of crude oil, came to a near-complete stop with its AIS data showing a speed of approximately 0.6 knots. The reason for the sudden reduction in speed is currently unknown. Two other oil tankers, 'Senegal Prosperity' and an unnamed vessel, were also reportedly targeted in the same area. No further details about the extent of damage or the condition of the crew have been released yet.
