UKMTO says most attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz are not reporting incidents

Unverified · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) · 2026-10-16 23:25 UTC

A single X post by an anonymous account attributes to UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) the statement that most ships attacked in the Strait of Hormuz are refusing to report, leaving UKMTO unable to give accurate figures on maritime attacks in the region. No primary UKMTO statement or second source was among the claims.
