The majority of vessels attacked in the Strait of Hormuz do not report the incidents to UKMTO (United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations), which prevents the agency from establishing the true number of attacks, according to the Middle East Eye.

Combined inbound and outbound transits remain about 70 percent below pre-war levels, according to the same outlet. In the week ending October 14, UKMTO recorded 254 combined transits, 129 inbound and 125 outbound, down from 275 the previous week, according to the World Ports Organization.
