Two sailors are missing after the tanker El Gaia was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Oman's maritime authority. Iran claims the vessel caught fire after hitting mines, while the US says the oil tanker was struck by a missile and then a drone.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important shipping lanes, through which roughly one-third of globally traded oil passes. The incident adds to regional tensions amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
