Several explosions were heard late Tuesday night at various locations on Kharg Island in southern Iran, a correspondent for the Mehr news agency reported from the scene.
The sounds originated from the port area, which houses key infrastructure for Iranian oil exports and handles 90% of the country's total crude shipments.
So far, no official information has been released regarding the origin or cause of the blasts, nor any potential damage.
