The explosion was reported this morning by Iranian media and has since been confirmed by other media outlets in the region.
‘This morning,after the ceasefire was established,several explosions occurred at the Lavan Island refinery. The source of these explosions is not yet known,’ Mehr agency reported.
Other explosions were reported at Sirri Island this morning,which is closer to the Strait of Hormuz.
