> Two supertankers operated by Saudi and South Korean companies were hit by projectiles while leaving the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, maritime security consultant Marisks told Bloomberg. Both had switched off their AIS transponders. The attacks threaten a fragile recovery in oil shipments, while Brent futures rose above $92 a barrel.
