Three sailors who survived an attack on the Thai cargo ship Mayuree Naree in Strait of Hormuz are suing the vessel’s owners, alleging that Iranian warnings were ignored ahead of the strike, AlJazeera reports.
“The moment I heard the explosion, I thought that was it. I knew something serious had happened. No ordinary explosion would have been that loud – so loud that it completely shocked me,” the report quotes one of the three sailors, Panithi Tumkaew, as saying.
He said he can no longer face returning to sea and has been forced to leave his job, receiving just $5,000 in back pay, the report adds.
