新加坡：新加坡海事及港口管理局（MPA）于周三（10月14日）表示，两艘新加坡籍集装箱船在霍尔木兹海峡航行时遭到不明弹道物击中，其中一艘船只在受损并起火后沉没。
SINGAPORE: Two Singapore-ed container vessels were struck by unknown projectiles while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with one ship sinking after sustaining damage and catching fire, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said on Wednesday (Oct 14).
该局称，船只GFS Pride和GFS Giselle分别于10月13日和10月14日（新加坡时间） reportedly 被击中。
The vessels, GFS Pride and GFS Giselle, were reportedly struck on Oct 13 and Oct 14 respectively, Singapore time.
GFS Pride受损且船上发生火灾，随后沉没。全部21名船员安全撤离，未有人员受伤。
GFS Pride sustained damage and a fire broke out on board before the vessel subsequently sank. All 21 crew members were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported, MPA said.
GFS Giselle船体受损，但仍能依靠自身动力继续航行至安全锚地。船上全部22名船员安全，未有人员受伤。两艘船船员中均无新加坡国籍人员。MPA表示，正与船只管理公司保持联系，并密切关注事态发展。
GFS Giselle sustained damage to its hull but was able to continue under its own propulsion to a safe anchorage. All 22 crew members on board are safe and no injuries were reported. There were no Singaporeans among the crew of either vessel. MPA said it is in contact with the vessels' management company and is closely monitoring the situation.
“MPA对商船在霍尔木兹海峡持续遭到袭击深感担忧，包括最新涉及两艘新加坡籍船只的事件，”该机构称。
“MPA is deeply concerned about the continued attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, including the latest incidents involving two Singapore-ed vessels,” the agency said.
“此类袭击属无端挑衅、无正当理由，且违反国际法，”它补充道。
"Such attacks are unprovoked, unjustifiable, and a breach of international law," it added.
“所有影响国际航运的行为必须完全遵守国际法，尤其是《联合国海洋法公约》，且不得危及海上船员和船只的安全。”
"All actions affecting international shipping must fully comply with international law, in particular the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and must not endanger the safety of seafarers and ships at sea."
