The Federation of Korean Seafarers' Unions said an IRGC strike has hit a South Korean vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. South Korea's Foreign Ministry confirmed that a fire and explosion occurred on board a Korean vessel in the strait, adding that it is checking the cause of the fire and the details of the damage. The ministry said it would coordinate closely with relevant countries on the incident.
The reported strike comes amid earlier conflicting reports of an exchange between Iranian and U.S. naval forces in the strait, with Iranian state media claiming the IRGC struck a U.S. warship with two missiles.
