Two tankers hit by projectiles, debris in Strait of Hormuz, maritime agency says
Two crew members suffered minor injuries and both tankers continued under their own power, with one later anchored safely at Khor Fakkan, authorities said.

- Despite Sunday's reported quiet, the broader region faces persistent instability evidenced by Friday's military parade in Tehran, complicating commercial shipping operations and creating ongoing safety risks.
