Sri Lanka, April 1 -- A tanker has been hit by an "unknown projectile" off the coast of Qatar's capital of Doha, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations.

The agency said the vessel was struck "on the port side causing damage to hull above the water line", but all crew members were reported as safe.

It added that authorities are investigating the incident and there is "no environmental impact" from the incident.

The attack comes a day after a tanker transporting two million barrels of oil from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia was hit by an Iranian drone strike while it was docked off the coast of Dubai.

A fire broke out and was later extinguished, with all crew members safe and uninjured, according to local authorities.
