Amid the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East, a severe attack occurred on Wednesday on a Thailand-registered cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz near Iran.

The Royal Thai Navy released photos stating that the ship was badly damaged in the attack, but all 23 crew members on board were safely rescued.

According to maritime agencies and security sources, the Thailand ship was hit by a projectile.

Photos show heavy black smoke rising from the Thai-registered Mayuri Nari, with life rafts visible floating in the water.

In a statement, the Thai Navy said the ship was attacked "while passing through the Strait of Hormuz after departing from Khalifa Port in the United Arab Emirates."

They added, "The specific details and cause of the attack are currently under investigation."

The Omani Navy had rescued 20 sailors, and efforts were ongoing to save the remaining three crew members. However, all 23 crew members were later rescued.
