An oil tanker was damaged in a possible attack at a Saudi Arabian terminal on the Red Sea, just two days after a missile strike on a fuel depot in the country’s second-biggest city.
The Agrari, a so-called Aframax-class vessel able to haul about 700,000 barrels of oil, was punctured about 1 meter (3 feet) above the waterline, according to a statement issued Wednesday on behalf of the owner. The “attack” took place as the ship was preparing to leave a berth at the Shuqaiq facility, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of the country’s border with Yemen, after unloading its cargo, according to the statement.
