Ship-tracking data from Kpler and LSEG show at least four oil and gas carriers abandoned transit of the Strait of Hormuz after an attack near the waterway. Earlier on Tuesday a Qatari LNG carrier and a Saudi‑flagged crude tanker were reported damaged; Iranian missiles were reported fired at vessels in the area and maritime authorities raised the threat level for transiting ships to "severe". Three QatarEnergy‑controlled LNG carriers — Al Ghariya, Duhail and Al Ruwais — were empty and reversed course late Tuesday while westbound toward the strait en route to load at Qatar's Ras Laffan export facility.
