A container ship caught fire after sustaining damage in an incident off the coast of Oman late Saturday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in an advisory issued on Sunday.
UKMTO said it received a report from military authorities that the incident involved a container ship located nine nautical miles (16.7 kilometers) east of Oman.
According to the report, the vessel sustained damage to its rear and experienced a fire onboard.
It added that an investigation is underway.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions following a recent exchange of attacks between the United States and Iran, triggered by alleged Iranian strikes on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz that lies between Iran and Oman.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced early Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed until further notice, after striking a vessel that attempted to transit the strategic waterway through an unapproved route.
