According to the vessel’s captain, several splashes caused by unknown projectiles were observed striking the water very close to the container ship while it was engaged in cargo loading procedures.
The report indicated that relevant authorities are currently examining the type of these projectiles as well as the conditions and context in which the episode took place.
The agency further recommended that ships passing through the vicinity remain vigilant and promptly notify officials of any unusual or suspicious occurrences.
