Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench shipping company CMA CGM says one of its vessels was hit by an attack in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.
“The CMA CGM San Antonio was the target of an attack yesterday while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in injuries among crew members and damage to the vessel,” the shipping firm says, adding those injured had been evacuated for treatment.
President Emmanuel Macron says France was “in no way the target,” according to government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon.
The Maltese-flagged vessel was not sailing under a French flag and was manned by a Philippine crew, she says, adding France extends its “solidarity” to those on board.
