Commercial Ships Struck Near Strait of Hormuz; UKMTO Issues Critical Alert

Описание: Strait of Hormuz Under Fire: Maritime security is at a breaking point as the UKMTO confirms three commercial vessels were hit by projectiles on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. The attacks targeted the Thai-flagged bulk carrier Mayuree Naree, which caught fire off the coast of Oman, a Japanese-flagged container ship (ONE Majesty), and the Marshall Islands-flagged Star Gwyneth.
These strikes come as Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) warns of further retaliation following US-Israeli airstrikes. With roughly 20% of the world’s oil transiting this chokepoint, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has raised alarms over global energy security. Watch for the latest updates on crew rescues, the status of the blockade, and the impact on global oil prices.

Verified Incident Details (11 March 2026)
Vessel 1: Mayuree Naree (Thai-flagged bulk carrier) hit 11nm north of Oman; fire reported, 20 crew rescued by Omani navy, 3 initially missing.
Vessel 2: ONE Majesty (Japan-flagged container ship) sustained minor damage 25nm northwest of Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
Vessel 3: Star Gwyneth (Marshall Islands-flagged) hit 50nm northwest of Dubai; crew reported safe.
Context: These attacks occurred after the US military claimed to have "eliminated" 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels earlier in the week.
