The governor of Konarak confirmed today (Thursday) that a naval military zone in the southeastern Iranian city was attacked by enemy fighter jets in two stages, according to reports. The statement adds a layer of detail to the initial reports that emerged on Wednesday night.
The Zioneer first reported an explosion at Konarak port and Lavan Island on Wednesday at 23:28 Jerusalem, based on unverified reports. Shortly after, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported an attack on a navy site in Konarak, and later that night, the official news agency confirmed a navy base was struck by an unspecified 'enemy.' The source of the attack remained unconfirmed across all reports.
The Zioneer has previously reported on strikes in southern Iran, including a deputy governor in Bushehr confirming two military bases hit by rocket barrages earlier on Wednesday (13:10 Jerusalem), and IRGC soldiers reporting a bombing of ground forces headquarters (Thursday 00:21 Jerusalem). Additionally, Iranian sources reported fighter jet movement over Konarak earlier today (Thursday 21:12 Jerusalem). These reports are part of a broader pattern of alleged attacks on Iranian military sites amid ongoing US strikes in the region.
The governor's claim that the attack was carried out by 'enemy fighter jets' has not been independently verified. The identity of the alleged attacker, the extent of damage, and any casualties remain unknown. All reports rely on Iranian state-aligned sources, and no independent confirmation has been obtained.
