Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Thursday that two oil tankers and a tugboat had caught fire in separate incidents after attempting to use unauthorized routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
One tanker struck a mine while attempting to cross a passage south of the strait, while another supertanker caught fire while exiting the route in the eastern part of the waterway, the IRGC said.
A tugboat that approached the second vessel to help extinguish the fire also caught fire.
This is a developing story.
