Indian supertanker on fire after activating mine in Ormuz

dnoticias.pt14 September 2026 at 23:15

The Indian supertanker "El Gaia", flying the Panama flag, is on fire after colliding with a sea mine while attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz through a restricted zone. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard provided this information through a statement today.

The Iranian ideological army indicated that the supertanker was attempting to cross a restricted zone south of the Strait of Hormuz and suffered an explosion after colliding with a naval mine. The Iranian military organization also revealed that rescue operations have been initiated to assist the ship's crew.

Why this matters

The incident occurs in one of the world's most strategic oil routes, the Strait of Hormuz, which may affect crude transport and global oil prices. The mention of restricted zones and naval mines suggests military tensions in the region that may impact international maritime operations.
