The aircraft targeted the ship after US forces directed the crew to abandon specific spaces.\n\nSeparately, the UAE National Guard rescued 22 Arab nationals after a fire broke out on a cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, according to Ajel English, Middle East Eye, and The National UAE. The National Guard's Coast Guard division carried out the evacuation.
