US armed forces fired a five-inch gun at the engine room of Iranian-flagged container ship Touska to disable the vessel before boarding and seizing the ship as part of the US blockade of Iran’s ports.
AIS data appears to show the vessel was around 40 nautical miles from Iran‘s Chabahar port at the time of the incident.
US Central Command posted a video on twitter showing Touska viewed from the deck of a US Navy ship.
