A Thai-flagged bulk carrier, the Mayuree Naree, was struck by unidentified projectiles on Wednesday while transiting the Strait of Hormuz toward Kandla Port in India. The vessel, owned by Bangkok-based Precious Shipping, came under fire approximately 11 nautical miles north of Oman shortly after departing the United Arab Emirates. The Royal Thai Navy confirmed the attack caused explosions and a fire in the engine room.
