Ammon News - Three fishermen were injured after ​a fishing boat was ‌struck by what local authorities described as an "enemy drone" ​off Iran's southern ​coast, the Hormozgan provincial governor's ⁠office said, according ​to Mehr news agency ​on Wednesday.

The vessel was struck while sailing about 18 nautical ​miles from Bondaran village ​in Sirik county. Three crew ‌members ⁠were seriously injured and taken to hospital for treatment.

The United States regularly ​conducts drone ​surveillance ⁠over the Gulf and has in ​recent months struck ​targets ⁠in southern Iran that it said were used ⁠to ​disrupt navigation through ​the Strait of Hormuz.
