A Singapore-flagged cargo ship, Ever Lovely, was struck by an unknown projectile on its starboard side near the Strait of Hormuz off Oman's coast, causing bridge damage but no casualties or environmental harm, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The incident occurred about 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Dahit amid ongoing tensions over Iran's control and transit fees in the strategic waterway. Iran's Revolutionary Guards emphasized authorized routes, while investigations into the attack continue with vessels advised to exercise caution.
