- The British Maritime Trade Operation received a report of incidents between a tanker and military forces in the Sea of Oman, approximately 18 nautical miles east of Khor Pekan, United Arab Emirates. The condition of the crew, the amount of damage to the ship and the environmental consequences of this incident are unknown at the time of publication of the report. The responsible authorities have been informed of this incident and the investigation is still ongoing.
At the same time, official news agencies in Iran reported, citing local residents in the south of the country, that in the late hours of Sunday night several explosions were heard on the beaches of Bandar Abbas and Kish Island.
The Fars news agency, which is close to the Pasaderan Revolutionary Guards, wrote that there is still no official report on the source of these explosions, but this news agency, citing local sources, found that the source of the sounds may be the firing of warning shots for "hitting ships passing illegally" through the Strait of Hormuz. Residents of Bandar Abbas and Kashem also reported the occurrence of at least four explosions in direct reports to the Vahid Online channel on Sunday night, and some reported strong tremors after these explosions. One of the citizens mentioned in a message sent to the Vahid online channel that they were targeted by the defenders in Nariman in Kish Island.
The "Tasnim" news agency also reported that it heard the sound of explosions in Sirik, and the radio station reported that they were caused by the sound of shots being fired at "attacking ships".
Tasnim, who is close to the Revolutionary Guards, confirmed the ground attack and the explosion caused on Kish Island citing his sources, but at the same time says that the sounds heard in other areas were caused by "actions of Iranian military forces".
