Two Singapore-registered ships struck; one sinks with crew rescued

The 14 October maritime update distinguishes the GFS Pride and GFS Giselle incidents.

Two Singapore-registered vessels were struck near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a 14 October Reuters report citing Singapore’s maritime authority. GFS Pride was hit on 13 October, caught fire and later sank; all 21 crew members were rescued.

GFS Giselle was struck the following day and sustained hull damage. Its 22 crew members were reported safe, and the vessel reached a safe anchorage under its own power.

The reported crew outcomes belong to these two named ships and should not be applied to other regional attacks. The account did not establish who launched the projectiles or provide a verified attribution of responsibility.
