A Thai cargo ship bound for India’s Kandla port was set on fire after being attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, with 20 crew members rescued and three missing. India condemned attacks on commercial shipping, stressing the need to protect civilian crews. Iran’s IRGC claimed responsibility, striking the Thai ship Mayuree Naree and a Liberian-flagged vessel. Two other ships sustained minor damage. Currently, 28 Indian vessels with 778 crew are stranded in the Persian Gulf, with authorities monitoring their safety and coordinating rescue efforts.
