Six explosions were heard in the southeastern Iranian cities of Konarak and Chabahar, according to multiple unverified local reports. Footage circulating on social media claims to show American strikes in the area. The cause, casualties, and damage are not yet known.
Overnight Tuesday, local reports from southern Iran described six distinct explosions in the cities of Konarak and Chabahar – both coastal towns in the province of Sistan and Baluchestan, near the border with Pakistan. The reports, circulating on Persian-language Telegram channels, provide no immediate details on the source, targets, or casualties. Separately, video footage attributed to American strikes in the area has been shared on social media but remains unverified.
This wave of blasts continues a pattern of events across southern Iran in recent weeks, as The Zioneer reported. At 00:13, explosions were reported for a third time in Bandar Abbas, followed by an earlier round at 21:16 the previous evening. The broader campaign – the US strikes on Iranian air defense positions in the south, which began in late June – has seen repeated detonations across the coastal region, especially around the Strait of Hormuz. The current reports from Konarak and Chabahar extend the geographical scope of these events further east.
As of 00:30, no official Iranian or US statement has commented on the Konarak and Chabahar reports. The cause remains unconfirmed.
