Reports from Iran said fresh explosions were heard late Monday near Sirik on the country's southern coast, beside the Strait of Hormuz. No immediate information was released about the cause of the blasts, possible targets, casualties or damage. The area lies on a strategically sensitive stretch of shoreline as renewed U.S.-Iran fighting continues around the waterway; the initial report did not identify who, if anyone, carried out an attack. Independent confirmation was not immediately available.
