A cargo vessel was set ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz in the early hours of Wednesday after being hit by an unknown projectile, British maritime authorities said.

The cause of attacks on the commercial vessels in the strait - a vital corridor for oil - is being investigated.

Several ships came under attack in the strait on Wednesday and Thursday. Tehran has been blocking maritime traffic in the area since the war launched by Israel and the US began.
