❗️Emirati authorities announce that an oil leak from the Panamanian-flagged supertanker Gem No. 2 has been successfully contained following a maritime security incident in UAE territorial waters near the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The supertanker was critically damaged and caught fire after being struck by a projectile attack in early October, resulting in an initial engine room blaze and subsequent crude oil discharge into the surrounding waters. Emergency maritime crews have since stabilized the vessel and mitigated further environmental damage.
