Iran's IRGC Navy said four oil tankers caught fire and exploded in the Strait of Hormuz after attempting to use an unauthorised southern passage, including a supertanker carrying over two million barrels of crude that it said struck a naval mine. UKMTO separately reported incidents involving commercial vessels in the strait, with crews safe and no environmental impact reported.
One outlet so far Only MM TV (English) has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
