Reports from the British military have surfaced about a ship being seized while anchored near the UAE and heading towards Iranian waters. This development was further confirmed by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre.
Meanwhile, an Indian-flagged cargo ship sank after an attack ignited a fire en route to Sharjah. All crew members were safely rescued by Oman's coast guard. The Indian government condemned the attack, though no entities have claimed responsibility.
