A crew member on the Greek-owned oil tanker Velos Sapphire was killed in a missile attack in the Persian Gulf. The Marshall Islands-flagged tanker was en route to Bahrain's Sitra port empty when struck early Thursday. The explosion caused a fire, which the crew extinguished. The tanker then sailed to Khalifa Bin Salman port in Bahrain. Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported fires on two other tankers in the Strait of Hormuz amid regional tensions.
