The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported receiving a notification of an incident 15 nautical miles north of Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the master of a cargo ship reported an explosion caused by an unknown projectile near the vessel.<\/p>\n

The authority confirmed that all crew members are safe, while local authorities are investigating the incident. It advised ships to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity.<\/p>\n

Ships in or near the Strait of Hormuz have been under attack since Iran closed this vital waterway in response to US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began on February 28. <\/p>\n
