(Johannesburg = Yonhap News) Correspondent Na Hwa-jin = Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on the 10th (local time) that an oil tanker passing through the Strait of Hormuz exploded and caught fire after coming into contact with a mine, Reuters reported, citing Iranian state media.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) National Guard announced on this day that 22 Asian sailors were rescued after a fire broke out on an oil tanker in the Gulf Sea.

The UAE National Guard added that the coast guard received a distress report from the crew and dispatched a rescue team to find the vessel, and that all rescued crew members were in stable condition.

Neither the IRGC nor the UAE National Guard disclosed the tanker's name, country of shipment, or exact location of the fire. For this reason, it has not yet been confirmed whether it is the same ship.
