Projectile strikes container ship near UAE; no injuries reported.
A projectile struck a container ship near the United Arab Emirates, the UK maritime agency said on Thursday, as Iran carries out a military campaign to disrupt global markets by choking trade in the Gulf.
"The container ship was struck by (an) unknown projectile causing a small fire onboard," the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in a statement, adding the ship's crew had been reported as safe.
