The vessel, identified as CGM San Antonio and owned by a French company, was struck by a possible land-attack cruise missile in the Persian Gulf late Tuesday evening local time, the report said. Several crew members were injured. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed that a cargo ship had been struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, but without disclosing its name. At noon, the vessel was located near Dubai, but its subsequent course could not be tracked, CBS reported. On May 3, US President Donald Trump announced "Project Freedom," an operation to assist vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz seeking to leave. He later announced a temporary pause in the vessel escort mission.
