Mvutano katika Mashariki ya Kati umeshika kasi zaidi leo baada ya meli ya mizigo kushika moto kwenye Mlango-bahari wa Hormuz, kufuatia shambulio lililohusisha "vitu vya kurushwa visivyojulikana."
Mamlaka zimethibitisha kuwa meli tatu za kibiashara zimeharibiwa katika njia hiyo muhimu ya maji duniani. Operesheni ya uokoaji inaendelea hivi sasa kwa ajili ya mabaharia 23 waliokwama kwenye moja ya meli hizo zilizolengwa, huku picha za hivi punde zikionyesha moshi mzito mweusi ukifuka kutoka kwenye meli hiyo.
Tukio hili la baharini linajiri kufuatia harakati kubwa za kijeshi katika eneo hilo. Mapema leo, jeshi la Marekani lilitangaza kuwa "limeteketeza" meli 16 za Iran za kutega mabomu majini. Hatua hii imechukuliwa baada ya onyo kali kutoka kwa Rais Trump, aliyeionya Tehran isijaribu "kutega mabomu" yoyote katika njia hiyo.
Aidha, inaripotiwa kuwa Iran imeendeleza mfululizo wa mashambulizi, huku matukio yakiripotiwa nchini Saudi Arabia, Falme za Kiarabu (UAE), na Kuwait.
Kule Dubai, watu wanne walipata majeraha wakati ndege mbili zisizo na rubani (droni) zilipoanguka karibu na uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa wa jiji hilo. Ingawa safari za ndege za kibiashara hazijaathiriwa, waandishi wanaarifu kuwa hili ni tukio la pili la droni kutokea katika eneo hilo ndani ya siku chache tu, jambo linalozua hofu kubwa kuhusu usalama wa anga.
