๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ UKMTO logs an incident off Bukha, Oman, inside the Strait of Hormuz; ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช Houthi strike on Aden runway confirmed

  • ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ The UK maritime trade authority (UKMTO) has received a report of an incident 11 nautical miles west of Bukha, Oman, on the Musandam side of the Strait of Hormuz, per newswires ( / 08:24 GMT); no detail yet on the vessel or the nature of the incident
  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท It is the first maritime authority report in the Strait since the IRGC claimed at / 07:33 GMT that Hormuz is completely closed, and follows the reported US 'final warning' to Tehran at / 08:03 GMT

FO view: The nature of the incident is still unknown; if it proves a hostile act on shipping, Brent's settle against 110 is the score.
