Oman said it rescued 25 people from a burning ship in waters near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, amid heightened tensions in the region.
The incident comes as Tehran has restricted maritime traffic through the strait since the West Asia war erupted on February 28, following U.S.-Israeli strikes on the Islamic republic, according to the input.
Authorities have not provided further details on the cause of the fire or the condition of those rescued. The situation around the strait remains tense, with shipping movement affected by the restrictions.
