Reports from Lebanon say an Israeli-owned ship called the Hyperion was attacked the afternoon of April 13 in United Arab Emirates waters. The Lebanese Al Mayadeen news outlet, affiliated with Hezbollah, said the ship came under fire near the emirate of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman.

The vehicle-carrier vessel, owned by the Israeli Ray Shipping company and Israeli businessman Rami Ungar, has been sailing under a Bahaman flag for six years. The ship was reported to have sustained light damage above its waterline. No injuries were reported, and the ship did not need to return to port for repair. 

The Iranian-affiliated Unews agency reported that two days prior to the attack, the ship had anchored at the Mina al-Ahmadi port in Kuwait.

This is the second Israeli ship owned by Ray shipping that has recently suffered an attack. The vehicle carrier MV Helios Ray, also owned by Ray shipping, was attacked at the end of February in the Gulf of Oman, with a blast that damaged the vessel and forced it ashore. A third vessel, the Israeli-owned container ship LORI, was hit by a missile early March 25 in the Arabian Sea. Israeli officials believe Iran was behind the attacks.
