A Kuwaiti-flagged crude oil tanker, the Al-Salmi, was set ablaze and its hull damaged by an apparent Iranian attack at Dubai Port's anchorage on Monday, March 30, according to Kuwait's state news agency. Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) warned of a potential oil spill following the incident, which is the latest in a series of assaults on merchant vessels in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. US crude futures saw a rise of over 2.9% to $105.91 per barrel on the news. Dubai authorities confirmed responding to a drone attack, with maritime firefighting teams working to control the blaze. All 24 crew members were reported safe, with no injuries. Separately, a Greek-owned container ship off Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura reported projectiles hitting the water nearby.
