A Thai-flagged bulk carrier bound for India came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, setting part of the vessel ablaze and triggering an emergency rescue operation as the war between Iran and the United States continues to destabilise one of the world’s most critical maritime corridors.
The vessel, Mayuree Naree, had departed Khalifa Port in the United Arab Emirates and was en route to Kandla port in Gujarat when it was struck by an unknown projectile while transiting the narrow Gulf shipping lane.
The Royal Thai Navy confirmed the attack, releasing images showing thick black smoke billowing from the ship’s hull and superstructure, with life rafts visible in the water as crew members evacuated the burning vessel.
