The IRGC says it struck a vessel it calls 'offending' in the Strait of Hormuz, and Fars News Agency reports an anti-ship cruise missile struck a vessel there, citing BeamTracker OSINT data. Anonymous X accounts report explosions heard in the strait citing unconfirmed reports, and a houseofsaud.com headline says Iran fired a cruise missile at a vessel in Hormuz and that a launcher at Sirik was struck.

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.
