CMA CGM says one of its container ships, the San Antonio, is attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The company states the incident occurred on Tuesday and that the vessel was the target of an attack in the narrow waterway. CMA CGM says crew members are injured and the ship is damaged.
The Reuters report, carried by Al-Monitor, describes the event as part of wider disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing Middle East conflict. It notes that the conflict has blocked hundreds of vessels and significantly reduced parts of global trade flowing through the region, including oil shipments.
Cyprus Mail similarly reports that the San Antonio is hit in the Strait of Hormuz and that multiple crew members are injured, with damage to the vessel. Both accounts attribute the information to CMA CGM and refer to the same ship and location. Neither source provides additional details on the type of attack or who carried it out, and both focus on the impact on the crew and the vessel.
