The ships targeted in late-night attacks on Wednesday in the Gulf near Iraq were the Marshall Islands-flagged Safesea Vishnu and the Zefyros, which had loaded fuel cargoes in Iraq, two Iraqi port officials told the Reuters news agency. We recovered the body of a foreign crew member from the water, one port security official said, as Iraqi rescue teams continued searching for other missing seafarers.
