An Iranian gunboat fired at a container ship off the coast of Oman on Wednesday, causing damage but no casualties, a British maritime security agency said.
“The master of a container ship reported that the vessel was approached by one IRGC gunboat… that then fired upon the vessel, which has caused heavy damage to the bridge. No fires or environmental impact reported,” the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said.
It added that the incident took place 15 nautical miles northeast of Oman and that all the crew were safe.
According to British maritime security firm Vanguard Tech, the vessel was sailing under a Liberian flag and “had been informed it had permission to transit the Strait of Hormuz”.
