To søfolk dræbt under angreb på tankskib

To besætningsmedlemmer om bord på tankskibet Mercer Street blev fredag dræbt, i et formodet droneangreb ud for kysten af Oman. Tankskibet er opereret af Zodiac Maritime, der er kontrolleret af den israelske shipping magnat Eyal Ofer.

I en meddelelse fra Zodiac Maritime hedder det, at de to besætningsmedlemmer blev dræbt under et piratangreb, men flere andre kilder betegner angrebet som ikke-piratrelateret.

Ifølge flere israelske kilder var der tale om et droneangreb, formentlig udført at iransk kontrollerede enheder – det seneste angreb i en langvarig skyggekrig mod mål på land og vand mellem de to lande.

De dræbte er hhv. en britisk og en rumænsk statsborger.

Mercer Street, der er japansk ejet og indregistreret i Liberia, var undervejs fra Dar es Salaam til Fujairah i ballast da angrebet skete.

Efter angrebet, der fandt sted 152 sømil nord øst for den omanske havneby Duqm, er tankskibet nu på vej til en sikker havn, ledsaget af et amerikansk krigsskib.
