The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported on September 21 that an LPG carrier was hit by fragments from an unidentified projectile while leaving the Strait of Hormuz. The crew was safe, and the vessel continued to its next port of call, with no pollution reported. This was the second such attack reported by UKMTO that day, following an earlier incident involving a tanker.
