A projectile has hit the Marshall Islands–flagged product tanker MKD VYOM, killing a crew member on board as the vessel sailed off the coast of Oman, Reuters quotes the V.ships manager as saying.

“The vessel suffered an explosion and subsequent fire after being struck by a suspected projectile while off the coast of Muscat, Oman on 1 March,” V.Ships Asia said in a statement.

“It is with great sadness that we confirm one crew member, who was in the engine room at the time of the incident, has died.”
