The Pacific Zircon is operated by Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping but owned by Idan Ofer, an Israeli billionaire.
An oil tanker owned by an Israeli billionaire has been struck by a bomb-carrying drone off the coast of Oman.
The vessel, which is operated by Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping but owned by Idan Ofer, was attacked on Tuesday night, according to a defence official. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, a British military organisation that monitors shipping in the region, said it was"aware of an incident", which is"being investigated".The attack comes at a time of heightened tensions with Iran and ahead of the World Cup in nearby Qatar.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Tehran and Israel have been engaged in a years-long war within wider tensions in the Middle East.
