Cargo Ship Reports Suspected Attack While Crossing Hormuz

A cargo ship reported a suspected attack as it attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz close to the coast of Oman on Thursday, British navy

agency UKMTO said.



The UN's International Maritime Organization is currently assisting ships escape the Gulf, hundreds of which have been stranded there since the Iran war began at the end of February.



The ship reported being struck on its starboard side by a projectile 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Oman's port of Dahit, the UKMTO said.



Another maritime security source said the vessel was likely targeted by a drone, although it was not clear yet who carried out the strike.
