The IRGC Navy said in a statement on Friday that, as part of this mission, a giant LPG carrier named NV Sunshine, belonging to the company Natwit, was hit several hours earlier on Thursday.
According to the statement, the vessel had been attempting to pass through the “illegal route” in the south of the Strait of Hormuz when it was struck.
The IRGC Navy said the vessel subsequently caught fire in its engine room and propulsion system.
