Attack off Iran's coast

Iranian media reported on Saturday that an 'enemy drone' attacked two fishing vessels near Qeshm Island in southern Iran. According to the semi-official Fars news agency, the incident occurred 14 miles south of the island: two fishermen were wounded and taken to Qeshm, while two more are listed as missing. The agency said the search for the missing is ongoing.

What remains unclear

No party has claimed responsibility for the attack, and Iranian sources did not specify who they believe launched the drone: the phrase 'enemy drone' in the report was left unexplained. There is also no information yet on the condition of the wounded fishermen or whether the vessels belonged to Iranian owners. So far, information about the incident comes only from Iranian media, and no independent confirmation has appeared in open sources.
