Explosions heard in Iran’s Jask, east of Strait of Hormuz: State media

Explosions were heard Friday in Iran’s southern port city of Jask, east of the Strait of Hormuz, the official IRNA news agency reported, citing local sources. No impacts were reported in the city or elsewhere in Hormozgan province, according to the report. The reports came a day after IRNA, said the southern city of Sirik had come under an “enemy” strike. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Friday that it targeted and destroyed a US early-warning radar in Bahrain in response to an attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik.

US Central Command, however, said American forces intercepted two Iranian attack drones heading toward Bahrain, reporting no injuries or damage. Jask lies on Iran’s Gulf of Oman coast, east of the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for international oil shipments.
