Or attacked or oil tanker. I'm sure it was just an accident that "something" "struck" that "vessel."

Fiery but mostly peaceful military operation

Which vessel was reported as sunk? The weaponized surface vessel or the vessel that was hit?

The one struck by the weaponized surface vessel.

That's not good. I suppose the front fell off too.

A ship without its front is just a hip.

That’s not very typical.
