> Singaporean authorities said the Singapore-flagged container ship GFS Pride sank on Tuesday after an unknown projectile hit it while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. All 21 crew members were evacuated safely. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the vessel struck naval mines on what they called an “unauthorised” route.
