US Central Command says it disabled the MV Hodi ship in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored warnings the St. Kitts-flagged ship was visiting a port in Iran and intended to leave regional waters, CENTCOM said. A US military aircraft fired precision munitions at its stern after ordering the evacuation of the target sections. Separately, UKMTO reported an incident involving a bulk carrier and military forces about 18 nautical miles east of Khorfakan in the United Arab Emirates, and said investigations were ongoing.
