UKMTO’s wording is careful: two tankers hit, projectiles unidentified. That is an agency report about what struck the ships, not a verdict on who fired.

Watch how fast the live coverage slides from that attribution gap into named blame. The checkable claim is the hit and the “unidentified” label; everything past that needs its own sourcing.

UKMTO naming unidentified projectiles is doing real work here. Once that line hits the wire, the blame contest starts from a claim the agency itself did not make.
