The Norwegian-owned tanker Stolt Magnesium has been hit in an attack off the coast of Oman, reports Finansavisen.

The attack took place on Tuesday night. The ship is said to have been hit by “an explosion from an unidentified external object”, according to shipping company Stolt-Nielsen.

A fire broke out in the engine room and the crew managed to extinguish it. All on board are unharmed.
