(Reuters) The Pacific Zircon oil tanker, managed by Israeli-controlled Eastern Pacific Shipping, was attacked off the coast of Oman on Tuesday by an Iranian-made drone, U.S. Central Command said Wednesday. The company said there was minor damage to the hull but no injuries or spillage of the cargo. The U.S. said that debris "reveals that it was a Shahed-series one-way attack drone. This unmanned aerial vehicle attack against a civilian vessel in this critical maritime strait demonstrates, once again, the destabilizing nature of Iranian malign activity in the region."
