The US military has said that it used missiles to disable the steering gear of a Panama-flagged cargo ship which ignored repeated warnings to stop violating a naval blockade on Iranian ports.⁣
⁣
A US Navy MH-60 helicopter fired two Hellfire missiles into the Vela Nova's engine room, the Central Command said.⁣
⁣
'As of Aug. 11, CENTCOM has redirected 55 commercial vessels attempting to run the blockade, disabled 3 non-compliant vessels, and boarded 2,' it said in a statement.⁣
