The UN says 25 seafarers have been killed in and around the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Israel war on Iran began, according to Al Jazeera, as cited by the Straits Daily Brief on 15 November.
The figure has not been independently checked against the UN or Al Jazeera's original report.
The same brief reports that Brent crude settled at $95.84 at Friday's close. That is 2 cents above Thursday's settlement of $95.82.
It also reports that 50 vessels visible on AIS ship-tracking data were holding position away from berth in the Hormuz and Gulf area as of 23:30 UTC.
