(CNN) — Iranian state media reported on Tuesday that five explosions were heard in the western part of Bandar Abbas, a major coastal city located on the southern coast of Iran.
The city had previously been subjected to attacks, the most recent of which was on Monday, when Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency quoted the government of Hormozgan Province as saying that a projectile had hit the western part of Bandar Abbas.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Tuesday the end of the wave of strikes it launched on Monday against Iran, confirming that the operation lasted five hours and targeted military sites in Bushehr, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas, using precision-guided munitions against defense systems, missile and drone sites, and naval capabilities, with the aim of undermining Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping.
It added that more than 50,000 US troops are currently deployed across the Middle East, and that US forces will remain in a state of high vigilance and combat readiness.
