Online Wahid reported hearing explosion sounds in Qeshm, Minab, Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khamir, Chabahar, and Sirik on Thursday evening. The reports covered a stretch of Iran's southern coastline facing the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman. The locations range from the Strait of Hormuz region in the west to Chabahar on the Gulf of Oman in the east.

No official statements have been issued on the origin of the sounds. There were no immediate reports of damage, casualties or military activity connected to the incident.

The six sites form a roughly 1,000-kilometer arc along Iran's southern seaboard. Qeshm is an island near the Strait of Hormuz while Sirik and Chabahar lie further east toward the Pakistan border. Local accounts described multiple distinct explosions over a short period. The reports have not been independently verified by international monitoring groups or foreign governments.
