  "summary": "Shipping traffic via the Hormuz Strait increased to 10 vessels on Wednesday, according to preliminary data. This is up from seven the previous day, but still below the 10-day moving average of around 17, as reported by Middle East Eye.\n\nA commercial vessel, the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged ship Cape Dao, was targeted near Oman's Musandam Governorate, overlooking the Strait of Hormuz, on Wednesday. Omani authorities reported that one crew member was killed and 27 others were evacuated after the vessel was hit, causing a fire in the engine room, as per New Straits Times.\n\nJapanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi called for talks on ending restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz to include regional countries, nations that depend on it, and the International Maritime Organisation. She emphasised the importance of free and safe navigation, particularly for Japan, which imports around 93 per cent of its crude oil through the strait, according to The National UAE and The National Business.",
