The crew of a tanker which was attacked on a busy Oman shipping route has landed safely in Dubai.

Two tankers – one Norwegian and one Japanese – were attacked in the Gulf of Oman last week. 44 crew members were rescued and there were no injuries. Now, crew from Norwegian tanker, MT Front Altair are in Dubai.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman publicly stated the attack came from Iran forces, joining the US in its allegations, however the UAE has not cast blame.

This explosion follows a similar attack which took place in UAE waters in June.
