Container Ship Hit by Iran in Early Days of War Sinks in Hormuz

The Safeen Prestige, a container ship that was hit in the first week of the Iran war, reportedly sank in the Strait of Hormuz.

Pakistan’s hydrographic service, which monitors shipping in the region, said the vessel was reported to have sunk and there are remnants of an oil spill in the area. Satellite photos from the European Union’s Copernicus Browser show a vessel on fire in the area on March 28, and it disappearing by April 2, though a sheen was left behind.
