Blue House Condemns Namooho Attack, Moves to Identify Perpetrator

The Blue House said on the 11th, in a follow-up announcement on the investigation into the attack on HMM vessel Namooho, that “attacks on civilian ships cannot be justified or tolerated” and strongly condemned the incident. It also said it would seek to identify the party responsible for the strike. However, regarding claims raised in some quarters that Iran was behind the attack, it did not make a definitive judgment and maintained a cautious stance. The government plans to communicate with relevant countries to prevent a recurrence. As the safety of civilian vessels and stability of maritime transport emerge as key issues, future investigation results and consultations with related countries are expected to shape the next response.
