Thai navy says cargo ship attacked near Strait of Hormuz

A Thai bulk carrier travelling in the crucial Strait of Hormuz was attacked on Wednesday, with 20 crew members rescued so far, the Thai navy said.

Photos shared by the Royal Thai Navy showed heavy black smoke billowing from the hull and superstructure of the Thai-registered Mayuree Naree, with life rafts floating in the water.

The vessel “was attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz” after departing Khalifa port in the United Arab Emirates, the navy said in a statement.

“The specific details and cause of the attack are currently under investigation,” it added.

The Omani navy had rescued 20 sailors and “efforts are currently underway to rescue the remaining three crew members”, it said.
