Grim discovery on cargo ship that was attacked in Strait of Hormuz

  • Human remains were discovered aboard the Thai-flagged cargo vessel Mayuree Naree, which was attacked last month in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The vessel's owner, Precious Shipping, confirmed the discovery during a second boarding operation, but the number and identities of the deceased are yet to be determined.
  • Families of three crew members reported missing after the incident have been informed, while 20 other Thai crew members were rescued and returned home in mid-March.
  • The Mayuree Naree was struck on March 11, sustaining heavy damage, fire, and flooding, which complicated search efforts in the critical global oil route.
  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for targeting the vessel, stating it had ignored warnings amidst escalating regional conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz.
