CENTCOM said the strikes, which began at 7:15 p.m. Eastern U.S. time, were triggered by an IRGC attack on a Cyprus-flagged container ship while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel sustained a fire and extensive damage to its engine room, rendering it unable to continue its journey, and one civilian crew member is missing, according to the U.S. military.
A U.S. official, speaking to Axios, said the strikes hit radar installations, missile and drone depots, and associated launch platforms.
No details were provided on the location or extent of the damage.
