French shipping group CMA CGM said its vessel San Antonio was attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, injuring crew and damaging the ship. The company said injured crew were evacuated and are receiving medical care. The incident adds to disruptions in the region amid the Middle East conflict, which has stalled global oil trade, reports said.
French shipping group CMA CGM said on Wednesday that one of its vessels, the San Antonio, was attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, injuring crew members and damaging the vessel.
The incident, which CMA CGM said took place on Tuesday, marks the latest disruption in the key shipping route amid the Middle East conflict. The war has blocked hundreds of vessels and brought nearly 20% of global oil trade to a virtual standstill.
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would briefly pause an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing "great progress" toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran.
CMA CGM said injured crew members from the San Antonio had been evacuated and "are being provided with medical care". The company declined to comment further on the incident.
