Sounds described as explosions were heard from the sea near Iran’s Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, Iranian state media reported.
The state-run IRNA news agency said the sounds appeared to have come from the direction of the sea, with no indication that Qeshm Island itself had been targeted.
State TV later reported that similar sounds had been heard on previous nights and were usually linked to warning shots directed at vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
"No reports of a strike or explosion on Qeshm Island have been reported so far," the report said.
Qeshm Island is located near the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route that has remained at the center of heightened tensions involving Iran, the United States and regional parties.
