Two missiles, one ship, seven days of silence: attack in the Gulf of Oman

A merchant ship was struck by two unidentified projectiles in the Gulf of Oman a week ago. The incident happened seven days ago, and the public is only learning about it now. Seven days. Someone is hitting ships in one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, and that's somehow a secret for an entire week?

The ship caught fire, and a Pakistani navy vessel arrived to assist. Location: 112 nautical miles southeast of Ras Al Hadd. Who is responsible? Unknown. Britain's UKMTO reported the incident but without further details. In a sea full of tensions, blockades, and threats, anonymous projectiles chose the worst possible scenario — because when no one claims responsibility, everyone becomes a suspect.
