UK says cargo ship struck in Strait of Hormuz

 The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in a notice on Tuesday that a cargo ship was hit by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz.

"A verified source reported a cargo vessel has been struck by an unknown projectile. Environmental impact is unknown at [the] time of [the] report," the UKMTO noted. The organization once again urged ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to report "any suspicious activity."

The news comes after the United States launched Project Freedom to guide ships going through this critical waterway. Iran, on the other hand, warned vessels to transit Hormuz only through routes previously authorized by Tehran.
