Social media accounts are circulating reports that an Emirati liquefied gas tanker was targeted while transiting near the Strait of Hormuz, off Fujairah, with claims of an explosion and a gas leak.
These reports were accompanied by claims of emergency cases being recorded in Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Dubai.
So far, there has been no reliable independent confirmation of these details, of Iran's responsibility for the alleged incident, or of a gas leak reaching residential areas.
The reports come amid escalating security tensions and maritime attacks in the Strait of Hormuz region.
