A series of explosions has been reported across southern Iran amid escalating regional tensions.

🇮🇷 SOUTHERN IRAN

- Explosions reported in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Sirik and Jask.
- Additional unconfirmed reports mention Bandar Mahshahr and suspected launches near Haftkel.
- The cause of several explosions remains unclear, with Iranian authorities suggesting some were linked to military activity.

🇮🇶 IRAQI KURDISTAN

- A drone struck the Khor Mor gas field in Sulaymaniyah, triggering a major fire.
- Production was suspended, and workers were ordered into shelters.
- The attack disrupted a major source of electricity generation across the Kurdistan Region.

No group has claimed responsibility for the gas-field attack, and Iranian involvement has not been independently established.
