The cargo ship GFS Pride, owned by the United Arab Emirates, sank today (Thursday) in the Strait of Hormuz. The valuable cargo on board, including iPhones and luxury perfume bottles, scattered in the water and was documented in viral videos distributed on social networks. According to initial reports, the ship carried about 2,500 containers that departed from Dubai. All 21 crew members were safely evacuated, with no reports of injuries.
