What happened

MSCIO Alert 96/26 reported that an unnamed bulk carrier was struck by an unknown projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The impact damaged the starboard side and caused one crew casualty; no environmental impact was reported. The MSCIO feed's plotted coordinates for this alert fall near Bab al-Mandeb and conflict with its written Strait of Hormuz location, so this map uses an explicitly approximate Hormuz marker rather than reproducing the inconsistent feed point. No responsibility was assigned.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
