On October 14, 2026, the Singapore-flagged GFS Pride container ship sank in the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by an unidentified projectile, which caused a fire onboard. All 21 crew members were safely evacuated, with no reported injuries. This incident is part of a series of attacks, with over 20 vessels targeted in the region this month. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed the ship hit a naval mine, but independent sources have not confirmed this. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore condemned the attacks as unprovoked and a breach of international law. The GFS Pride's sinking marks the second vessel loss since the onset of the US-Iran war on February 28, 2026. The situation remains tense as Iran continues to target commercial shipping to influence oil prices and geopolitical dynamics.
