Container Ship GFS Pride Sinks South of Strait of Hormuz After IRGC Alleges Mine Strike

Описание: The Singapore-flagged container vessel GFS Pride, operated by a UAE-based company, has sunk south of the Strait of Hormuz following an onboard explosion and fire. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released footage of the incident, claiming the vessel struck an Iranian naval mine after navigating through an "unauthorized and dangerous" maritime corridor. In contrast, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and independent maritime security observers reported that the ship sank due to damage sustained from an unidentified projectile strike rather than a mine. All 21 crew members onboard were safely evacuated with no injuries reported.
