A drone strike damaged a merchant ship in the Indian Ocean on Saturday but no casualties have been reported so far, according to two maritime agencies. The vessel is reportedly linked with Israel, raising speculation over rising numbers of attacks against commercial vessels in light of the continued destruction in the Israel-Hamas war.
“UKMTO have received a report of an attack by Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) on a vessel causing an explosion and fire. Fire extinguished, no casualties. Authorities are investigating,” said the UK Maritime Trade Operations on platform X. Maritime security firm Ambrey also confirmed the strike.
