The Thai-flagged cargo ship Mayuree Naree, which was heading to Gujarat, was hit by unidentified shells in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, causing the ship to catch fire. Twenty crew members were rescued while three people remained on board. The incident took place about 11 nautical miles north of the coast of Oman.
India’s external affairs ministry condemned the attack on the Thai ship, saying that targeting commercial vessels in the ongoing West Asian conflict was unacceptable. Officials also confirmed that the Mayuree Naree was not the only ship affected.
