Three explosions were heard to the east of Bandar Abbas, a strategic Iranian port city and naval base near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported in the early hours of Thursday.

The blasts were reported at around 1:30 a.m. local time and caused the air defence systems of Bandar Abbas to be briefly activated, according to Fars, a media outlet with links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

“The exact location and source of these sounds are still unknown, and follow-ups are continuing to determine them," Fars reported.
