A cargo ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an unknown projectile late Monday, leaving one crew member missing and the ship disabled in the latest attack on the critical waterway.
The incident highlights the ongoing security concerns in the region, with several vessels reporting incidents in recent months. The Strait of Hormuz is a key chokepoint for global oil trade, and any disruptions can have significant impacts on the global economy. The ship has been taken under tow and is being escorted to a nearby port for repairs.
