"Two projectiles reportedly struck the Thai-flagged Mayuree Naree off the coast of Oman, setting the ship ablaze and forcing at least 20 crewmembers to evacuate. Three crewmembers were reported missing by a Thai maritime official. Iran's IRGC Navy later confirmed that it had fired on the ship after it ignored warnings not to traverse the strait."
"Another commercial vessel, the Star Gwyneth, suffered limited hull damage when it was hit by a projectile above the waterline, according to a statement from the vessel's owner, Star Bulk Carriers. And a third vessel, the ONE Majesty container ship, suffered minor damage from a projectile when it was some 50 miles off the coast of Dubai."
"As of March 11, there have been 13 confirmed attacks on vessels in the region, according to gCaptain, which have killed at least seven people. About 20,000 people remain stranded aboard ships in the Persian Gulf as a result of the war."
Three commercial cargo ships were struck in or near the Strait of Hormuz on March 11-12. The Thai-flagged Mayuree Naree was hit by two projectiles, catching fire and forcing at least 20 crew members to evacuate, with three reported missing. Iran's IRGC Navy confirmed firing on the vessel after it ignored warnings. The Star Gwyneth suffered hull damage above the waterline, and the ONE Majesty container ship sustained minor damage approximately 50 miles off Dubai.
