Following reports of several explosions heard on Qeshm Island on Saturday afternoon, October 11, the Mehr News Agency wrote that these sounds are related to activities in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

This news agency, without citing official sources, stated that "no impact or security incident has occurred within the territorial area of the island."

At the same time, Mehr News Agency raised the "possibility" that the explosion sounds might be related to "fire at ships" in the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, multiple images and reports have been circulating on social media showing a large cylindrical object in an urban area of Qeshm, which appears to resemble part of a military-defense projectile.

Unverified reports on social media also indicate that prior to the fall of this object, sounds of defensive operations and several explosions were heard in Qeshm.

Official authorities have not yet provided an explanation regarding the published images and this incident in Qeshm, and Radio Farda cannot independently verify the details of the published reports.
