Vessel Struck by Projectile off UAE's Sharjah Coast

An unknown projectile struck a vessel 15 nautical miles north of the United Arab Emirates' Sharjah, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said early on Sunday.

It said that all crew were reported safe.

The UKMTO said in a later statement that the target of the incident could not be conclusively identified and authorities were investigating.
