Two Saudi oil tankers among sabotaged ships off UAE coast

A sabotage attack off the coast off the United Arab Emirates has led to the significant damage of two Saudi oil tankers.

The UAE said four ships of various nationalities were hit but there were no injuries or deaths.

The Iranian foreign ministry said the incidents were worrisome and dreadful and called for a full investigation.

Tensions are high in the area through which about a fifth of oil that is consumed globally passes.
