Iranian anti-ship missile likely hit HMM vessel, South Korea says

The analysis showed that the ship, named Namu, was attacked twice and while the first warhead did not explode, a second did. Components in the debris indicated the objects were likely made in Iran, the ministry said.

"Their engines were similar to turbojet engines made in Iran," Park said, noting that one component had markings that appeared to be used by an Iranian manufacturer.

The warheads resembled those used in Iranian anti-ship missiles, the Noor or Qader, Park said.

South Korea will summon the Iranian ambassador to share the results of the investigation and deliver a protest message, he said. Seoul will also demand Iran take responsible measures to prevent a similar incident recurring, Park added.
