  "summary": "A container ship, the Singapore-flagged GFS Pride, has sunk near the Strait of Hormuz after being hit by a projectile, according to maritime security sources. The ship, with a capacity of 2,824 TEU, has also reported floating containers in the water. Additionally, a dry bulk carrier, the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged Cape Dao, is sinking following a previous attack on September 23. Both incidents are believed to be part of Iran's new tactics to target ships in the Strait of Hormuz as it seeks to maintain high oil prices and influence the US midterm elections.",
