Three oil tankers are involved in the Hormuz Strait after allegedly hitting marine mines, according to an Iranian Navy report published by state media.
According to Reuters news agency reports, one of the tankers has hit a marine mine in the eastern part of the strait during Saturday morning hours, while the other two are involved in similar incidents later in the day.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy claims that the last two tankers were trying to cross a forbidden route when they hit marine mines, exploded, and set fire.
So far no names or countries of ship origin have been disclosed, while there are no confirmed information on victims or injured persons.
Reuters has stressed that it could not independently verify Iranian authorities’ claims.
Hormuz Strait is one of the world’s most important shipping routes. Tensions in this area have increased following Iran’s restrictions on ships crossing this strategic corridor.
