U.S. military fires on cargo ship in Gulf of Oman after blockade breach

The U.S. military says it fired on a cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman on Saturday, stating the vessel attempted to breach a naval blockade. The M/V Huda, sailing under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis, ignored warnings and had departed from an Iranian port. The U.S. has blocked shipping to and from Iran since April. An American aircraft struck the ship's stern, leaving it without steering. Separately, the UAE National Guard rescued 22 people from a vessel in the area, though it is unconfirmed if it was the same ship.
