Investigation of M. Star Incident Reveals No Explosives Found
In a recent development regarding the damaged tanker 'M. Star' (IMO: 9515436), the National Police Agency has confirmed the absence of explosives in the materials collected during their investigation following a suspected attack in the Strait of Hormuz in late July. This finding suggests that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism may conclude there was no explosive device involved when it publishes a detailed report on the incident as early as November. The ministry is currently focused on a significant inward dent observed on the starboard side of the 'M. Star', a damage that spans from just above the waterline to a depth well below it. Experts are inclined to believe that this damage may have resulted from an explosion occurring externally beneath the waterline. Additionally, radar data retrieved from the tanker indicates two small unidentified vessels that were exhibiting suspicious movements in proximity to 'M. Star' during the incident.
No Evidence of Explosives Found in 'M. Star' Incident in Strait of Hormuz
Investigations by the National Police Agency have revealed no signs of explosives in samples taken from the 'M. Star', which sustained damage in a potential attack while navigating the Strait of Hormuz in late July. As the agency prepares to release its findings, the Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ministry is expected to conclude that an explosive device was not involved when it publishes a report in November detailing the factors behind a significant inward dent located on the starboard quarter of the 'M. Star'. This dent, which is notable for its reach from above the waterline down to subaqueous levels, has raised suspicions of external detonation. Maritime experts corroborate this theory, suggesting that explosives were likely detonated externally beneath the waterline. Adding to the intrigue, radar data retrieved from the tanker has identified the presence of two small unidentified vessels operating suspiciously close to the ship during the incident.
