UN Maritime Agency Suspends Hormuz Evacuations After Ship Attack

The UN's maritime safety body has suspended its program to move vessels and crews through the Strait of Hormuz after a Singapore-flagged ship was struck near the Omani coast. The agency had evacuated roughly 115 vessels and 2,500 seafarers through the strait since Tuesday. Operations stopped following the reported attack on the commercial vessel.

No details on casualties or damage were released. The agency did not indicate when or whether the program would resume.
