| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] The Thai bulk carrier Mayuree Naree was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, causing an explosion in the engine room and a fire. This was reported on March 11 by the Thai newspaper Thairath, citing Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Pipat Ratchakitprakarn. There were 23 crew members on board, all Thai citizens. The Omani navy rescued 20 sailors and brought them ashore, but three others remain missing. The minister explained that the bulk carrier had left Khalifa Port in the United Arab Emirates and was heading back to Thailand. At the time of the incident, the vessel was approximately 20 kilometers from the port. Following the explosion and subsequent fire, the captain decided to abandon ship and evacuate the crew to lifeboats. According to authorities, the ship was empty at the time of the incident, having already completed unloading and was returning to Thailand. However, the exact circumstances of the incident have not yet been established: there is no confirmation whether the ship was fired upon or struck a mine. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) press service stated that the container ship Mayuree Naree was fired upon after it ignored warnings from the IRGC navy while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran also reported that Iranian forces attacked another vessel, which they believe is linked to Israel. The IRGC emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is under the control of its naval forces.
