Ship hit by unknown projectile off UAE coast: Maritime agency

The UKMTO maritime agency said on Friday it had received multiple reports of an unknown projectile striking a ship off the United Arab Emirates and causing a fire.

The fire had been extinguished, but there were not yet details on any casualties aboard the vessel, which was reportedly dozens of kilometres from the Iranian-blockaded Strait of Hormuz. It comes days after a tanker was hit off Qatar, around 500 kilometres (300 miles) west of the vital strait.
