Saudi Arabia says Iran attacked vessel in Hormuz, killing two sailors
Most outlets led with the claim that Saudi Arabia blamed Iran for an attack on an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz that killed two Filipino sailors.

Other outlets, including Geo News, Daily Times, and Business Recorder, either led with or reiterated the Saudi government’s accusation against Iran. The vessel involved, named Sidr, was identified as belonging to Bahri in several reports.
