A loud noise heard on Qeshm island in southern Iran was caused by air defenses intercepting small drones and reconnaissance drones, the Hormozgan provincial authorities say, according to the country’s Students News Network, adding that no impact, damage or explosion had occurred.
Drone interceptions by Iranian air defenses have taken place several times in recent weeks, notably over Tehran, despite a ceasefire with the US.
