Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to the organization, the projectile hit caused a fire inside the ship, but the fire was contained and the crew were not injured.
It is not yet clear which country the ship belongs to, and further details about its identity and the type of projectile used have not been released.
This incident comes at a time when a ship belonging to the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was also targeted by a missile this morning while passing through the Strait of Hormuz. ADNOC has confirmed that there were no casualties in that attack and that the situation is under control.
It is worth noting that Iran has repeatedly announced that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and has warned vessels that pass through unsafe routes other than those announced by Iran.
