UK maritime agency says ship off UAE coast was hit by unidentified projectile; crew members safe

A container ship was hit off the coast of the United Arab Emirates by an unidentified projectile, a British maritime security agency reports, as Iran carries out a retaliation campaign in the Gulf in response to US-Israeli strikes.

“The master of a container vessel has reported that the vessel has sustained damage from a suspected but unknown projectile,” the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) says, adding the extent of the damage is unknown but all crew members are safe.
