4 New Vessels Targeted in the Strait of Hormuz

Several tankers and commercial ships have been destroyed or targeted in the region's waterways, the UK Maritime Trade Operations and the armed forces have announced.

The British Maritime Commercial Operations Organization announced that 4 ships were targeted in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

While the Financial Times announced that 24 ships were targeted in the two weeks ending October 11, the UK's Maritime Operations Agency reported six hits on Sunday alone. Hours ago, the IRGC Navy released a video of the sinking of a 2,500 container ship that had hit a mine. Earlier, the IRGC Navy warned that "a terrible fire will be the end of any offending tanker." "Ignore the security and laws of the Strait of Hormuz."

Now, the 4 ships that were targeted yesterday were a 19,000 ton container ship, a 50,000 ton container ship, an oil tanker and another container ship.
