Corroborated · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
The IRGC says it targeted a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz that it describes as violating its waters, as relayed by Middle East Observer on Telegram. A Telegram post citing a geointel.live event page reports anti-ship cruise missiles and drones launched from Hormozgan Province with explosions heard in the Strait, and an OSINT repost says NASA FIRMS detected a fire there without identifying which tanker was struck.

Corroborated: 3 independent sources.
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.
