Vessel hit by ‘unknown projectile’ in Strait of Hormuz, UKMTO says

A vessel has been struck by an “unknown projectile” while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, causing damage to the engine room and resulting in a crew casualty, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said.

The vessel’s company security officer reported the strike to UKMTO early on Tuesday, saying the Omani coastguard was assisting the remaining crew.

The British maritime agency said no environmental impact has been reported so far, and authorities are now investigating the incident, including who or what was responsible.
