Ship struck by projectile off coast of Qatar: maritime agency

An unknown projectile struck a ship off the coast of Qatar early Sunday morning, a UK maritime agency reported, after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards threatened to target US vessels in the region. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said a bulk carrier had reported being hit 23 nautical miles northeast of Doha by an "unknown projectile". "There was a small fire that has been extinguished, there are no casualties. There is no reported environmental impact," the agency said.
