WorldPhoto: NDTVTanker with 27 Indians Attacked by Limpet Mines in Strait of Hormuz
A Panama-flagged crude oil tanker, MT LOUISE 1, carrying 27 Indian crew members was attacked with two limpet mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The mines caused a fire in the engine room, which the crew extinguished. There was no environmental damage, and the tanker continued its voyage. This is the first successful limpet mine attack in the area since the conflict began in February.
