Qatar confirms attack on Nakilat LNG carrier

Qatar said Nakilat’s LNG carrier Al Rekayyat was attacked by Iran while transiting near the Strait of Hormuz. The fully laden vessel, carrying LNG from Ras Laffan, was reportedly hit by an unknown projectile off Oman, causing a fire but no casualties or environmental damage. Doha called the attack a violation of international law and freedom of navigation, holding Iran legally responsible for any consequences. The incident underlines the continuing security risk for Qatar’s LNG exports despite efforts to restore safe tanker traffic through Hormuz.
