Corroborated · Strait of Hormuz (approximate: Western Strait of Hormuz) ·
MenchOsint, reposting NASA FIRMS satellite detections, says two possible additional oil tankers were burning in the western part of the Strait of Hormuz at 08:41, 10:21 and 12:06 UTC. A separate Rerum Novarum // Intel Telegram post reports an oil tanker engulfed in flames in the Strait earlier that day, with no cause given.

Verification
Corroborated: 2 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Two or more independent origins report the same event. That is agreement between reports, not proof of every detail.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. 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.
