A ship was hit by an "unknown projectile" in the Strait of Hormuz. A crew member was injured.

A serious incident occurred on Monday in the Strait of Hormuz, when a ship was hit by an "unknown projectile" while exiting this strategically crucial shipping lane for global trade. The impact caused damage to the engine room and resulted in the injury of a crew member, with the rest of the crew being assisted by the Coast Guard of Oman.

Maritime traffic in the area is extremely low, with only three commercial vessels passing through the strait in the last 24 hours. U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it blocks maritime shipments, while Oman has not responded to these threats. Additionally, Iran announced an agreement with Oman for a safe maritime route, in the context of which the 60-day window for a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran has expired without concrete results.
