Strikes continue against shipping by Iran and Iranian proxies: security company Ambrey reported today (Saturday) that a merchant ship with “Israeli ties” was attacked by a drone near the Indian west coast.

According to the report, a fire broke out on the ship due to the strike, but was quickly put out. No casualties were reported.

The ship was reported to be carrying chemical products and raw oil to the port city of Mangalore in India when it was struck about 200 km southwest of its destination there. The security company believes that the drone that struck the ship was launched from Iran.
