According to a release from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), CENTCOM forces subjected a commercial vessel in the gulf of Oman to disabling fire after it ignored warnings that it was in violation of the U.S. blockade of vessels traveling to and from Iran. Per the release, U.S. aircraft fired precision munitions at the stern of the vessel, the St, Kitts-flagged M/V Huda, after they warned the crew to evacuate the areas of the vessel that were to be targeted.
