Reported1 origin: the claimant's own report, which does not count as evidence.
CENTCOM said a US aircraft fired precision munitions at the stern of the St. Kitts-flagged M/V Huda on 7 November after its civilian crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to breach the blockade following a call at an Iranian port, and that the crew was directed to abandon the targeted spaces. No owner or flag-state account was found. CENTCOM counted 147 ships redirected, five merchant ships disabled and 10 Iranian tankers destroyed since July.
