On the evening of the 20th, a seafarer exclusively provided recordings from the public radio channel of ships near the Strait of Hormuz, showing that an oil chemical ship was attacked near the strait. The fuel tank caught fire, and a large amount of smoke came out of the hull. The crew was ready to abandon the ship. Recordings showed that the ship was an oil chemical vessel flying the Kuwaiti flag and was attacked in the waters near the east exit of the Strait of Hormuz. The crew members of the ship involved reported that the two crew members were slightly injured, and a large amount of smoke continued to come out of the damaged areas and fuel tank vents during the attack. The crew said it was impossible to cool the fuel tank. The crew boarded the lifeboat and was ready to abandon the ship, waiting for nearby rescue forces.
