Sounds resembling explosions were heard in parts of Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, including the port of Jask, but no explosions or strikes had been reported as of 10:25 p.m. local time on Friday, the provincial governor’s office said.
Iranian media said the sounds heard in Jask may have been related to Iranian armed forces confronting vessels described as violating maritime regulations. The cause of the sounds has not been independently verified.
