Seafarer Killed in Latest Strait of Hormuz Attack on Commercial Shipping
Two bulk carriers were struck by unknown projectiles in separate Strait of Hormuz attacks, leaving one seafarer dead and two crew casualties. The Liberia-flagged Minoan Dignity was hit during an outbound transit on August 17, damaging its engine room; INTERCARGO confirmed a seafarer died and the remaining crew are being assisted by the Omani Coast Guard. A second bulk carrier was struck at about 2200 UTC on August 15, with damage to its starboard side and one crew casualty, UKMTO reported late Tuesday. Both attacks occurred near the strait's southern approaches off Oman's Musandam Peninsula. UKMTO keeps the threat level at SEVERE and ties the uptick to Iran's stated posture shift after the June 17 US-Iran memorandum's 60-day period expired. The IRGC separately stopped the Liberia-flagged tanker Amara near Qeshm Island over alleged failure to meet Iran's transit and payment requirements. gCaptain
