- On Friday, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company reported that 15 of its vessels have been struck by missiles and drones while transiting the Strait of Hormuz since the conflict began, including three attacks this week.

- While working with authorities to protect assets, ADNOC has declined to provide details on individual incidents or identify those responsible, underscoring the opaque nature of maritime conflict in the region.
