US projectile hit Iran's vessel in Sea of Oman, Iranian governor says

A US projectile hit a 150-ton cargo dhow from Sirik in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province in the Sea of Oman early on Thursday, Sirik governor said.

Reza Shahidian said the dhow had five crew members, who were rescued with help from passing vessels and transferred to Oman.

The vessel was hit five miles from Oman’s Khasab port while carrying basic goods from Khasab toward Sirik, he said.
