Israeli-Owned Cargo Ship Targeted by Suspected Iranian Drone in Indian Ocean

The ship, owned by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer's company, was damaged but no crew members were injured in the attack.

An Israeli-owned cargo ship, the CMA CGM Symi, was targeted by a suspected Iranian drone in the Indian Ocean, causing damage but no injuries to the crew.
The ship is owned by Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping, controlled by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer.
The suspected drone used in the attack is the Shahed-136, which has been used by Iran and Russia in various conflicts.
The ship had its Automatic Identification System (AIS) tracker switched off since leaving Dubai's Jebel Ali port, indicating the crew may have anticipated a threat.
This incident comes amid a broader conflict between Israel and Hamas, with global shipping routes increasingly becoming targets.
