According to Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority, two container ships flying this country’s flag were targeted by a projectile as they passed through the Strait of Hormuz.

The ship “G.F.A.S Pride” was attacked on 21 Mehr (October 12) and, after a fire, sank, and all 21 of its crew were safely evacuated. The ship “G.F.A.S Gisele” was also damaged in a separate attack on 22 Mehr (October 13) from the hull area, but it was able to reach a safe anchorage, and its 22 crew members are unharmed.

The organization announced that the origin of the projectiles is “unknown.” At the same time, maritime security sources reported the possibility of the bulk carrier “Cape Daewoo” sinking near this waterway.
