Oil spills from attacked tankers reach UAE coast as Hormuz traffic stays limited
Oil from tankers attacked near the Strait of Hormuz has reached the UAE coastline, a report said. Oman rescued 25 crew from a burning tanker. Iran has restricted traffic through the strait since the war began. Brent crude stood at $113.43 a barrel.
Why it matters
About a fifth of the world's oil normally moves through the strait, so disruption lifts fuel prices.
Background
Iran has restricted shipping through the strait since the war began on February 28. Several tankers have caught fire in recent days.
