An Iranian drone has struck the oil tanker Louise P in the Persian Gulf.

The vessel, sailing under the Marshall Islands flag, was reportedly targeted during heightened tensions in the region, The Caspian Post reports via Russian media.

Media reports suggest the tanker could be linked to U.S. assets, although this has not been independently confirmed.

The strike marks the second reported attack on tankers in the region on March 7. Earlier in the day, Iranian forces reportedly hit another oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz after it ignored a warning issued by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
