CMA CGM container ship hit in Strait of Hormuz, injuring crew

(Reuters/Al Arabiya) French shipping group CMA CGM said on Wednesday that one of its vessels, the San Antonio, had been the target of an attack while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in injuries among crew members and damage to the vessel. The incident, which CMA CGM said occurred on Tuesday, is the latest disruption in the crucial shipping route during the Middle East conflict. The war has blocked hundreds of vessels and brought roughly 20 percent of global oil trade to a virtual standstill. – CMA CGM container ship hit in Strait of Hormuz, injuring crew
