The US forces “permanently disabled the IRGC crude oil carriers M/T Downy off the coast of Kharg Island and M/T Stark 1 near Jask,” US Central Command said in a statement Saturday.
Outside the Persian Gulf, according to CENTCOM, an unladen crude tanker called the M/T Kylo was “completely destroyed” after being hit multiple times to render it inoperable.
Earlier Saturday, Iranian news agencies said a tanker came under missile attack by US forces near Kharg Island. The tanker was hit by four projectiles fired by US forces, Tasnim reported. There were no casualties, the agency added.
