TEHRAN, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Iran's official news agency IRNA reported on Thursday night that the country's southern Sirik County was attacked by the "enemy," citing official sources as confirming the strike.
IRNA said the strike was military in nature, without giving further details.
Earlier in the day, the semi-official Fars news agency reported that residents of Sirik in eastern Hormozgan Province had heard several explosions of unknown nature over the past few hours.
It quoted some sources as saying that the explosion sounds were due to the Iranian armed forces' warning shots at "violating" ships in the Strait of Hormuz. ■
