A United States military helicopter fired at the rudder of a Panama-flagged ship after its crew ignored warnings from personnel enforcing the naval blockade of Iranian ports, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a US official.
No immediate casualties were reported after the incident, according to the report, which added that the vessel appeared to be attempting to transfer its crew to another civilian vessel after the attack.
The British maritime risk management group Vanguard and a maritime security source previously indicated that, according to initial assessments, the Panama-flagged container ship Vela Nova is believed to have been hit by a missile while sailing in the Gulf of Oman.
