One person was killed in an attack on an oil tanker off Muscat that also caused an explosion and a fire, the Omani authorities said Monday, as Iran presses on with its campaign.

"The oil tanker MKD VYOM, flying the flag of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, was attacked by an unmanned boat 52 nautical miles off the coast of Muscat Governorate. The tanker was carrying approximately 59,463 metric tons of cargo," the Omani maritime security center said in a statement.

"The attack resulted in a fire and explosion in the main engine room, killing one crew member, an Indian national," it added.
