One Killed, Three Hurt as Iranian Vessel Struck in "US Attack"
(MENAFN) One person was killed and three others were wounded early Sunday when an Iranian commercial vessel came under what a local official described as a "US attack" in the Gulf near Qeshm Island in southern Iran.
State broadcaster IRIB, citing Qeshm Governor Amir Teymouri, characterized the incident as an assault carried out by the "US terrorist enemy." According to Teymouri, the vessel was hit around 5 a.m. local time (0130 GMT) in the waters near Hengam Island and the Shib Deraz coast of Qeshm Island.
No additional information was immediately available about the identity of the vessel or the exact circumstances surrounding the attack.
In a separate development, the UK Maritime Trade Operations said Sunday that a vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an unidentified munition. No casualties or damage were immediately reported in that incident.
