LNG tanker targeted by projectile
The 'Al Mayeda', en route from Qatar in loaden condition, was targeted by an unknown projectile on the evening of Oct 30, 2026, about 40 nautical miles off Naval Island, close to Ras Laffan. The Qatari-owned LNG tanker was carrying a cargo of gas for customers in Pakistan. The ship had received safe-passage approval from Iranian officials for the crossing just hours before the attack. Nonetheless, its accommodations block was hit by an unknown projectile at about 6 p.m. UTC. All 25 crew members were reported safe, including six Indian seafarers. The LNG tanker was reportedly in a safe condition and remained operational, though its AIS went black. No environmental impact has been reported as a result of the incident. The identity of the attackers and the full extent of the vessel's damage have not yet been established. The State of Qatar expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the attack. The State of Qatar reserved its right to take all necessary measures, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter, to protect its assets and safeguard its vessels and their crews. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that the relevant authorities have initiated the necessary investigations to determine the circumstances of the incident and identify those responsible.
