Tankers hit mines in Hormuz; Qatar LNG carrier attacked
Iran's navy said two tankers exploded after hitting mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia condemned an attack on Qatar's LNG carrier Al Mayeda. Brent crude fell 1.4% to $111.86 a barrel.
Why it matters
Attacks on shipping keep oil and gas supplies tight and fuel costs high for consumers worldwide.
