Два танкера подорвались на минах в Ормузском проливе

According to Belta, citing a statement that Iran's state broadcaster quoted, another oil tanker that violated restrictions caught fire after hitting a mine in a prohibited zone east of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to RIA Novosti, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps naval forces reported on November 13 that a liquid gas carrier struck a mine in the Strait of Hormuz. A later RIA Novosti report says the same forces reported that two tankers hit mines in the strait; the excerpt of that report ends before giving further detail.

The reports differ on the vessels involved: Belta attributes its account to Iranian state media, while RIA Novosti attributes its accounts to the Revolutionary Guard's naval forces. None of the reports includes independent confirmation.
