While the crew remained safe, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed multiple incidents, including a container ship hit by a projectile.
Seventeen Indian-flagged vessels carrying 460 seafarers continue operations in the western Persian Gulf, with the government assuring their safety amid evolving maritime conditions.
