Taiwanese shipping operator Evergreen Marine Corp said one of its container ships was hit by an “unidentified object” in the Strait of Hormuz, but the crew, vessel and cargo were “unharmed,” AFP reports.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a marine monitoring agency, previously said a vessel had been hit by a projectile in the strait on Thursday, with US media outlets reporting that Iran had fired at a container ship.
The Iranian agency that claims to regulate traffic there issued a warning after the incident, while the UN suspended efforts to evacuate trapped mariners.
