A container ship was damaged by an unidentified missile near the Strait of Hormuz, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The incident occurred about 46 kilometers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. The ship’s master confirmed that although the vessel sustained damage, all crew members are safe and accounted for.

British authorities have launched an investigation to determine the extent of the damage and the source of the missile. The UKMTO has also advised all vessels operating in the area to remain vigilant following the attack.

The incident adds to growing security concerns in the region, where previous maritime attacks have raised tensions and disrupted shipping routes through one of the world’s most critical waterways.
