호르무즈서 500km 떨어진 카타르 인근 해역서 유조선 피격

Quick Look

영국 해사무역기구는 카타르 북부 해안에서 94km 떨어진 지점에서 유조선이 다수의 발사체에 피격됐다고 밝혔으며 사상자가 발생했으나 구체적인 숫자는 확인되지 않았다고 전했다. 공격 주체와 선박 국적은 아직 밝혀지지 않았다.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

이란과 미국은 지난 6월 종전 양해각서(MOU)를 체결했으나 이후 파기되고 호르무즈 해협 통제권을 놓고 대립해왔다. 이란은 해당 해역을 지나는 선박에 특정 항로 준수를 요구하고 미준수 시 공격해왔다.

(서울=연합뉴스) 이신영 기자 = 카타르 북부 해안 인근을 항해하던 유조선이 다수의 발사체에 피격됐다고 영국 해사무역기구(UKMTO)가 7일(현지시간) 밝혔다.

AFP 통신에 따르면 이번 사건은 카타르 해안에서 94km 떨어진 지점에서 발생했다.

그동안 이란이 통제권을 주장하며 지정한 경로를 따르지 않는 선박을 공격해오던 호르무즈 해협에서는 500km나 떨어진 지점이다.

이로인해 사상자가 발생했지만, 구체적인 숫자는 확인되지 않고 있다.

UKMTO는 피격된 선박의 국적은 언급하지 않았고, 공격 주체도 확인되지 않았다.

다만 미국과 이란은 지난 6월 체결한 종전 양해각서(MOU)가 깨진 이후 호르무즈 해협의 통제권을 놓고 대립해왔다.

이란은 이곳을 지나는 선박들에 지정된 경로를 따르라고 요구하고, 이에 응하지 않으면 공격하는 방식을 취해왔다.

전날에도 호르무즈에서 파나마 선박 유조선이 피격돼 선원 10여명이 부상했다.

선박 피격은 주로 호르무즈 해협 인근에서 발생했지만 지난달 9일에는 이라크 영해에서 대형 유조선이 드론 공격을 받았고 아랍에미리트(UAE) 라시드항 인근에서도 피격된 선박이 확인된 바 있다.

It's been two months since I took office... US Ambassador does not even meet with Chung Dong-young

U.S. Ambassador to Korea Michelle Steele is showing differences with her predecessors by not scheduling a meeting with the Minister of Unification even after two months in office. Observations have been made that this is due to the negative perception on the part of the United States due to the severance of inter-Korean relations and Minister Chung Dong-young's remarks about North Korean nuclear facilities.

Will we be able to elect a UN chief within the year? Even in the 5th preliminary vote, 'no one knows anything'

The fifth round of closed-door preliminary voting for the UN Security Council has been held, but the number of votes against the major candidates has increased again, leading to a deadlock. UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebecca Greenspan from Costa Rica maintained the lead with 9 votes in favor and 6 against, but compared to the previous vote, support decreased by one vote and opposition doubled. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi and Guyana's ambassador from Argentina also faced a tense atmosphere of rejection, receiving 9 and 7 votes against, respectively. As there is no agreement among the existing candidates, the possibility of running a third candidate with substantial support from the permanent members is also being discussed.
