Iran's navy reports that an oil tanker caught fire after colliding with a naval mine while travelling through a "prohibited" area in the eastern Strait of Hormuz.

According to the reports, the vessel turned off its navigation systems and ignored “regular warnings”.

The navy subsequently issued a warning to other ships attempting to cross the contested waterway without Iranian permission.

“This is the fate of all ships and vessels that ignore warnings and travel in prohibited areas,” it said in comments carried by Iran’s semi-official broadcaster IRIB.
