On May 6, 2026, at approximately 1:30 AM local time, residents in Qeshm, Bandar Abbas, and Sirik reported hearing sounds that resembled explosions. This unusual noise prompted further investigation, and a subsequent message sent to Iran International confirmed similar sounds at around 4:00 AM, reportedly emanating from the direction of Larak Island.

In response to the public's concern, the public relations office in Hormozgan province assured that the sounds were part of countermeasures taken against micro aerial vehicles and reconnaissance drones.
