An Iraqi warplane fired a missile into an oil-laden Greek-owned tanker south of Iran’s main Persian Gulf oil terminal at Kharg Island, and Iraqi troops reported victories in ground attacks on Iranian positions. The crew of the tanker, the Liberian-registered Fellowship L, put out a fire after the attack, and there were no casualties, the owners said. Iraq reported that its troops overran Iranian positions on the central and southern fronts, killing more than 100 of the enemy. There was no immediate comment from Iran.
