Human Remains Found on Thai Ship Attacked in Strait of Hormuz
Human remains were discovered in the impacted section of the Thai-flagged vessel MV Mayuree Naree following an attack in the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026. The attack, attributed to Iranian projectiles, resulted in an explosion and fire in the engine room, leading to the rescue of 20 crew members by the Omani navy and three remaining missing. While the identity and number of individuals associated with the remains are unconfirmed, the ship’s owner stated it does not anticipate significant financial or operational disruptions due to war-risk insurance coverage.
