Three vessels have been hit by unknown projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, maritime security agencies and sources said on Wednesday, as one of the strikes led ‌to a fire onboard a ship and forced most of its crew to evacuate it, Reuters<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

The Thailand-flagged bulk carrier Mayuree Naree was targeted and damaged approximately 11 nautical miles north of Oman, two maritime security sources said.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said later, referring ⁠to the incident, that the fire had been extinguished and that there was no environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Japan-flagged container ship One Majesty had sustained minor damage from an unknown projectile. Its crew members are safe and the vessel is sailing towards a safe anchorage, the ‌sources said.<\/p>\n

A third vessel, a bulk carrier, was also hit by an unknown projectile approximately 50 miles northwest of Dubai, maritime security firms said.<\/p>\n

Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz—a crucial route that carries about 20% of global oil and gas supplies—has been significantly disrupted since the conflict in the Middle East began on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

It is noted that the latest incidents bring the number of vessels attacked since the start of the conflict to at least 14.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
