Corroborated · Strait of Hormuz, Oman (approximate) ·
Press TV reports, citing satellite images, that two ships are on fire in the Strait of Hormuz near the Omani coast. The Iranian Army Navy claims an oil tanker caught fire and was immobilized after striking a naval mine in the eastern strait, as relayed by WarFront Witness. The reports differ on the number of vessels and on the cause, and neither has official confirmation.

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.
