Strait of Vulnerability The recent suspected drone attack on a Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier near the Strait of Hormuz has raised more questions than answers about security risks in this critical waterway.
The incident, which occurred on July 7 and damaged the vessel's engine room, is just the latest in a string of attacks targeting tankers and cargo ships in the region.
Four Indian crew members on board were fortunate to escape unharmed, but the frequency of such incidents has increased significantly in recent years.
