An explosion was recorded on Saturday (26) in the port of Shahid Rajae, in the city of Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, and left 281 injured, according to information from Reuters.
Iranian state media points out that the explosion took place amid a third round of nuclear negotiations in the country with the United States in Oman, although the cause of the explosion was not immediately clarified.
“The cause of this incident was the explosion of several containers stored in the port area of Shahid Rajae.
The FARS news agency initially reported that 47 people were injured, but the number has already risen to 281.
The Semioficial News Agency Tasnim added that Porto’s activities were suspended to extinguish the fire and that, considering the large number of port employees, “many people have probably been injured or even died.”
The explosion shattered windows within a radius of several kilometers, according to Iranian media.
By 2020, computers in the same port were hit by a cyber attack that caused massive traffic jams and roads leading to installation. The Washington Post had reported that Israel, Iran’s Archi-enemy, seemed to be behind the incident as retaliation for an earlier Iranian cyber attack.
