Confirmed · Strait of Hormuz (approximate: South of the Strait of Hormuz) ·
The IRGC says four oil tankers were destroyed after hitting naval mines on a route it calls prohibited, south of the Strait of Hormuz, and that some were still burning. UKMTO separately reports that an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was hit by an unknown projectile on Sunday; its report does not give a count or name mines.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
