Explosions were heard in the southern Iranian coastal city of Sirik, according to Iranian media reports.

The reports said blasts were also heard on Qeshm Island and in the port city of Bandar Abbas.

Iranian media claimed that a fishery pier in Bandar Abbas was targeted in an alleged U.S. airstrike, causing multiple fishing boats belonging to local fishermen to catch fire.
