Third ship attacked in Strait of Hormuz

A third ship has been attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, according to BBC reports citing maritime intelligence company Vanguard. The vessel was targeted about 6 nautical miles off the coast of Iran after being hailed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and instructed to drop anchor. The ship has reported damage to its hull and accommodation, though the extent of injuries or casualties remains unclear. This incident marks the latest escalation in the tense maritime environment around the critical global oil chokepoint.
