The strait carries about one-fifth of global oil trade and remains a key route for energy shipments from Middle East producers.
Subsequent reporting from the same outlet identified the vessel as Indian-flagged and confirmed it was sunk by an attack. No further details on the type of attack or those responsible were included in the reporting. Officials have not yet issued public statements on the sinking or any investigation.
The incident comes amid continued tensions in the region that have at times affected maritime traffic through the strait. Shipping companies and insurers typically adjust routes or premiums when attacks occur in the area.
