RIYADH, April 22 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) - A second ship came under attack on Wednesday in the Strait of Hormuz, the British military said, shortly after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a container ship.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, or UKMTO, did not identify who fired at the second vessel, but suspicion fell on Iran after the earlier attack.
The cargo ship reported coming under fire and stopping in the water. No damage was reported.
The incidents came days after the United States seized an Iranian container ship after firing on it over the weekend, and boarded an oil tanker linked to Iran’s oil trade on Tuesday in the Indian Ocean.
