Two tankers carrying Saudi oil attacked in Strait of Hormuz

Two supertankers carrying Saudi oil were hit by unknown projectiles within minutes of each other while transiting outbound through the Strait of Hormuz late Monday, per Marisks and Kpler. The incident raises immediate risks to key Middle East shipping chokepoints, likely supporting volatility in crude and freight rates. Market impact is potentially sector-moving given the Strait of Hormuz’s central role in global oil flows.
