ABU DHABI, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) Supply and Services, a subsidiary of the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) state-owned energy company ADNOC, said Tuesday that one of its vessels was damaged in an attack in the country's territorial waters in the Arabian Gulf.
The vessel was targeted on Tuesday afternoon and specialized teams were responding to the incident, ADNOC Supply and Services said in a statement carried by the Emirates News Agency.
The company did not disclose the vessel's name, the extent of the damage or who was responsible for the attack.
The latest attack comes amid a series of incidents involving ADNOC vessels in the Strait of Hormuz in recent months.
On Aug. 7, the company reported that 15 of its vessels had been targeted by missiles and drones while transiting the strait since the outbreak of the regional conflict involving Iran and the United States, leaving one crew member dead and 20 others injured. ■
