Two fishermen are missing and two others injured following a drone attack on fishing vessels approximately 26 kilometres south of Qeshm Island in Iranian waters, according to Iran’s FARS news agency reported Saturday morning.

The incident involved what Iranian sources describe as an ‘enemy drone’ striking two fishing boats in the region. The attack resulted in casualties and at least two individuals unaccounted for, raising immediate concerns about the identities and fate of the missing fishermen.

The strike marks an escalation in maritime tensions in the Persian Gulf region, occurring amid broader regional security concerns. The specific origin and circumstances of the drone attack remain unclear, though the Iranian characterisation as originating from an ‘enemy’ suggests attribution to a hostile actor in the region.
