Israeli cargo ship damaged after being hit in Indian Ocean

 

An Israeli-owned cargo ship was struck by an “unknown weapon” in the northern Indian Ocean, causing a fire to erupt onboard the vessel, the Hezbollah-linked Al-Mayadeen news site reported on Saturday evening.

The report – which Al-Mayadeen states was based on “reliable sources” – claims that “the Israeli ship was anchored in the port of Jeddah before moving towards the coast of the Emirates,” adding that “no one has claimed responsibility for this targeting so far.”
