  "summary": "A fire broke out on a ship transiting through the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by an unknown projectile on Sunday. According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), the crew was being evacuated from the vessel.\n\nThe Qeshm governor blamed a \"terrorist enemy\" for the attack, which resulted in one person killed and four wounded, according to Iranian state media. The person killed was among the cargo vessel's 10-member crew.\n\nLocal authorities were evacuating those on board after the attack, which occurred off Qeshm Island. The incident has added to concerns about Iran-related threats to global energy supplies.",
