A dry bulk carrier has come under attack from small craft in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a British maritime security agency tracking incidents in the area.

The incident occurred about 11 nautical miles west of Sirik, Iran, at 11:30 AM UTC on Sunday. UK Maritime Trade Operations reported the attack in a social media post.

The agency said the master of a northbound bulk carrier reported that the vessel was attacked by multiple small craft.

All crew were reported safe, and no environmental impact was reported.

Transits through the Strait of Hormuz have fallen sharply over the past two months since the current Middle East conflict began. Some vessels are still passing through the area under agreement with Iranian forces, while the US is trying to prevent transits by vessels that have visited Iranian ports.
