Statement on Ship Hit in the Strait of Hormuz

In the written statement published by UKMTO, it was stated that a verified source reported that the ship was hit by ammunition of unknown origin while entering the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

In the statement, it was stated that the authorities were examining the extent of the incident.

In two separate announcements published today, UKMTO reported that 2 oil tankers were hit in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

Iran, which has greatly restricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz due to the war that started with the attacks of the USA and Israel on Iran on February 28 and the subsequent naval blockade imposed by the USA, targets ships that want to pass through the strait "without permission".
