Allegedly attacked by two drones, no injuries reported.

Nothing about any damage.

Hmmmmm...

Per AI, so another FWIW...

“Armed Personnel: Reports indicate that armed guards are employed on ADNOC vessels to counter risks, including potential skirmishes with small skiffs, such as a reported incident south of Yemen.”

If so, and said personnel did indeed deal with the alleged drones...

Well done!
