The British Maritime Trade Operations reported that an IRGC boat, 28 kilometers off the northeast coast of Oman, approached a container ship without warning and opened fire.

At least three container ships came under fire in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, with a Liberian-flagged vessel suffering damage to its conning bridge from bullets and rocket-propelled grenades near the northeast coast of Oman, while a Panamanian-flagged ship was shot at about eight nautical miles west of Iran but remained undamaged. Maritime security sources reported that an armed boat from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was involved in the attack.
Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, warned countries bordering the Persian Gulf that disrupting communication infrastructures in the Strait of Hormuz could cause a catastrophe for the region's digital economies, noting that at least 7 major communication cables pass through this strategic waterway.
