04 March 2026 09:50
A ship was hit by an “unknown projectile” off the coast of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported.
The strike damaged the vessel’s steel hull but did not cause a fire or water ingress, and all crew members remained unharmed, CNN reports.
This is not the first ship to be affected in the Persian Gulf or nearby waters since February 28. Authorities have urged vessels operating in the region to exercise extreme caution and report any suspicious activity.
