Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy stated that three additional ships struck mines and caught fire west of the Strait of Hormuz overnight. The claim, reported by the source, attributes the incidents to sea mines in the area. No further details were provided on the vessels' identities, nationalities, crew status, or casualties. The statement follows an earlier reported incident in the same vicinity, though the source does not specify the total number of affected ships or a timeline beyond "last night." The IRGC Navy is the attributing party; the information has not been independently verified in the item. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipping, and any confirmed mining incidents there could affect maritime traffic and regional security.
