Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy said in a statement Saturday that two oil tankers exploded and caught fire after striking naval mines in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz while attempting to pass through an unauthorized route.
The IRGC said the vessels had switched off their navigation and automatic identification systems and were attempting to pass through a route it described as unauthorized.
Following the explosions, two other tankers attempting a similar passage complied with warnings from the IRGC Navy's maritime traffic control center and turned back, according to the statement.
The Guards did not identify the vessels or provide details about casualties or damage.
