A container ship was struck by a projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz north of Oman, maritime security agencies said.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), an agency linked to the U.K. military that monitors commercial shipping, said the vessel was sailing eastbound when it was hit by an unknown projectile just above the water line.
The strike caused a fire in the ship’s engine room, UKMTO said, adding that no environmental impact had been reported.
