WorldPeople scour Strait of Hormuz for cargo after Iranian attacks on container ships

At least 15 vessels have been struck in the Strait of Hormuz over the past 10 days, with drones and mines among the reported weapons. A ship sailing from Karachi to Fujairah sank after hitting a mine last week; all 21 crew members were evacuated. Floating containers prompted searches for cargo, while the attacks have driven up oil prices and raised concerns over marine damage.
