Iranian media report that a projectile struck two fishing boats in the waters off Larak Island, according to the state-aligned IRIB. The Sirik Governorate has not confirmed the incident and said it has received no such report. The source and timing of the projectile are not yet clear.
Iranian media, citing fishermen at Sirik Port, report that a projectile struck two fishing boats in the waters off Larak Island, a small island in the Strait of Hormuz. The report, carried by the state-aligned IRIB, attributes the account to fishermen who were not named. The Sirik Governorate declined to confirm the incident, stating it has received no such report. The source and timing of the projectile — whether a missile, a stray munition, or fragmentation from a nearby strike — remain unverified. This follows a series of unconfirmed reports in recent hours of explosions and naval activity in the southern Iranian waters near Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Jask, and Sirik, as the Zioneer has reported. Previous bulletins noted strikes on vessels, warning shots by the IRGC, and damage to infrastructure including Kangan port near Sirik, though most of those reports remain preliminary and from single sources. The current report adds a civilian-fishing dimension to the unfolding picture but is itself preliminary and unconfirmed by local authorities.
