ISTANBUL, May 30 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Oman's Maritime Security Centre on Saturday said that it detected a naval mine west of the inshore traffic zone in the Strait of Hormuz within Omani territorial waters, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
In a post on X, the centre called on “all seafarers, fishermen and vessels to exercise the utmost caution while navigating, to stay away from any suspicious objects and to report them immediately to the relevant authorities.”
Regional tensions have escalated since the United States (US) and Israel launched strikes against Iran in February.
Tehran retaliated with strikes targeting Israel as well as US allies in the Gulf, along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
A ceasefire took effect on April 8 through Pakistani mediation and was later extended by US President Donald Trump indefinitely.
