Three projectiles were reportedly fired towards the strategically important Strait of Hormuz from southern Iran, while several loud explosions were heard on the Iranian island of Qeshm.
Iranian state television reported the incidents on Monday (November 9), according to a report by Middle East-based news outlet Gulf News.
The projectiles were launched from the Sirik area in southern Iran towards the Strait of Hormuz. However, there was no immediate confirmation of the type of weapons used, their intended targets or whether they struck any location.
The cause of the explosions on Qeshm Island also remained unclear. Iranian authorities reported no casualties or damage following the incidents.
Meanwhile, other Iranian local media outlets reported explosions in the cities of Jask and Bandar Abbas. Initial speculation linked the blasts to Iran’s own military activities, but this was not confirmed.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important energy transit routes, carrying a significant share of global oil and gas supplies.
The incidents come amid heightened political and military tensions surrounding the strategically vital waterway. The exact circumstances and potential impact of the reported developments remain unclear.
