伊朗革命衛隊海軍稱4艘油輪在荷姆茲海峽起火

杜拜，10月30日（路透社）——伊朗國營媒體報導，伊朗革命衛隊海軍週五表示，4艘油輪在荷姆茲海峽試圖使用其所稱未經授權的航線時起火並爆炸。DUBAI, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy said on Friday that four oil tankers had caught fire and exploded in the Strait of Hormuz, while attempting to use what it described as unauthorised routes, Iranian state media reported.

伊朗革命衛隊海軍在最新聲明中表示，第4艘船是一艘載有逾200萬桶原油的油輪，觸雷後發生猛烈爆炸並起火燃燒。In its latest statement, the IRGC Navy said a fourth vessel, a tanker carrying more than 2 million barrels of crude oil, had hit a mine, suffered a powerful explosion and was burning.

伊朗革命衛隊海軍稍早的聲明曾表示，其中一艘同樣載有200萬桶原油的油輪觸及海上水雷。An IRGC Navy statement had said earlier that one of the tankers, which was also carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil, had hit a naval mine.

路透社無法立即查證該聲明。Reuters was unable to immediately verify the statement.

另方面，英國海上貿易行動辦公室（United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations）表示，該機構已收到荷姆茲海峽發生一起事件的通報。一名經查證的消息人士告訴該機構，一艘原油油輪在完成駛出該水道的航程時，遭不明發射物擊中。Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency said it had received a report of an incident in the Strait of Hormuz. A verified source told the agency that a crude oil tanker was struck by an unknown projectile while completing an outbound transit of the waterway.

UKMTO稍早表示，該機構收到通報稱，一艘船在伊朗拉萬島以南約40海里（74公里）處，左舷遭不明發射物擊中，導致船上起火。UKMTO表示，據報船員安全，且沒有傳出環境影響。Earlier, UKMTO said it had received a report that a vessel was hit by an unknown projectile on its port side about 40 nautical miles (74 km) south of Iran's Lavan Island, causing a fire on board. The crew were reported safe and there was no reported environmental impact, it said.

拉萬島位於波斯灣，在伊朗南部海岸外。目前尚不清楚UKMTO提到的船隻，是否包含在伊朗革命衛隊海軍所稱的4艘油輪之中。Lavan Island lies in the Gulf, off Iran's southern coast. It was not immediately clear whether the vessels cited by UKMTO were among the four tankers referred to by the IRGC Navy.

荷姆茲海峽是戰略水道，全球約五分之一的石油供應經由此處運輸。自2月底美國與以色列攻擊伊朗以來，該海峽緊張情勢持續。Tensions have persisted in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which around one-fifth of global oil supplies pass, since the US-Israeli strikes on Iran at the end of February.

國營媒體表示，伊朗部隊還在荷姆茲海峽附近的伊朗格什姆島上空擊落並俘獲一架美國MQM-170無人機。美軍沒有立即回應，路透社也無法獨立查證這項報導。State media said Iranian forces also downed and captured an MQM-170 US drone over Iran's Qeshm island near the Strait of Hormuz. There was no immediate reaction from the US military and Reuters could not independently verify the report.

伊朗還表示，已在荷姆茲海峽東部摧毀一艘美國無人船。Iran also said it had destroyed an unmanned US vessel in the eastern Strait of Hormuz.

但美軍中央司令部否認此事，並在X上的聲明表示：「美軍在中東的所有無人水面載具均已確認位置與狀態，包括一支正在荷姆茲海峽巡邏的先進海上無人機中隊。」But the US military's Central Command denied this and said in a statement on X: "All U.S. military unmanned surface vessels in the Middle East are accounted for, including a squadron of advanced sea drones on patrol in the Strait of Hormuz."
