Two tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz after hitting mines while using unauthorized routes, according to Iranian news agency IRNA. This incident follows a previous fire on another tanker due to a mine strike. Meanwhile, airstrikes in Yemen resulted in numerous casualties amid escalating conflict between Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed forces. IRNA reported explosions in various locations in Iran, but did not clarify their causes. The Iranian agency stated that both tankers had disabled their navigation systems and were engulfed in flames after violating regulations. Tehran claims control over the Strait, a vital shipping route for global oil, while the U.S. maintains a blockade on Iranian ports and escorts tankers in the area.
