Explosion sounds were heard in the morning hours in Iran's southern Hormozgan province, around Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Minab, Sirik, and Hengam Island. Residents of nearby villages also reported hearing the same sounds.
The incident was first noticed in the early morning hours in Bandar Abbas. The exact source of the sounds was not immediately clear.
Official military and security authorities have not yet commented on the cause of the sounds as of the time of publication. Therefore, developments in the region are being closely monitored.
Naval clashes also occurred between Iranian and American forces. Additionally, air defense systems were activated in the Mohr region in southwestern Fars province and in the southern Assaluyeh region.
Last night, following US military strikes on positions in southern Iran, Iran responded with missiles. Thus, tensions in the region entered a new phase.
Handala also warned the US military that it would face a harsh response to aggression. Satellite images revealed damage after attacks on a base in Israel, and drones were used in an attack on a US base in Bahrain.
