The fragile ceasefire in the Iran war has again come under threat after a cargo ship caught fire after being hit by an unknown projectile off Qatar's coast. It came as Kuwait's military said it detected and dealt with 'several hostile drones' in the country's airspace at dawn, marking the first such incident since the ceasefire came into effect in April. In Sunday's naval attack, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) said that the strike caused a small fire on the cargo ship, which was extinguished. The attack happened 43km northeast of Qatar's capital, Doha, the UKMTO said. There were no reported casualties, it said. It gave no details on the owner or origin of the ship, and there was no claim of responsibility. But Qatar said the attack is a 'serious escalation' that threatens the security of maritime traffic and vital supplies in the region. There have been several attacks against ships in the Persian Gulf over the past week. On Friday, the US struck two Iranian oil tankers after it said that the vessels were trying to breach its blockade of Iran's ports.
