Iran's state television says seven oil tankers caught fire or were damaged in the Strait of Hormuz overnight. Quoting the Revolutionary Guard's navy, it said four were targeted while transferring oil and three hit naval mines and were immobilised. No details on casualties or the ships' flags. If verified, AP says it would be the most vessels damaged there in a single day since the US and Israel struck Iran on February 28. The report also warned that the Guard may target US bases in the region if the US tries to let tankers pass through other parts of the strait.
In Saudi Arabia, the death toll from a Wednesday night attack on King Fahd International Airport rose to two, a Saudi and an Indian national, with eight injured. The Houthis claimed it. Yemen's Defence Ministry now says Houthi rallies will be treated as legitimate military targets.
