In a time-delayed report, UKMTO said a verified source confirmed the vessel was struck at 2040 GMT on Monday. No damage or environmental impact has been reported so far, and authorities are investigating the incident, the agency said.
UKMTO urged vessels transiting the strait to exercise heightened caution and to promptly report any suspicious activity in the area.
