MINAB, IRAN June 11, 2026 – Iranian state television reported on Thursday that two civilians in the village of Korgan, near the city of Minab in Hormozgan province, were injured by shrapnel from US munitions amid renewed strikes along Iran’s southern coast.
The injuries occurred in the latest round of US operations targeting coastal areas, including Minab, as tensions between the United States and Iran continue following a fragile ceasefire. Minab, located along the Strait of Hormuz, has been a focal point in the 2026 conflict, with earlier US strikes in the region drawing international attention over civilian casualties.
No immediate confirmation or comment was available from US officials on the reported incident. The strikes come as part of broader US efforts against Iranian targets, with operations expanding to multiple southern locations in recent days.
This development adds to ongoing concerns about civilian harm in the conflict, which has already seen significant casualties, including a deadly strike on a school in Minab earlier this year that killed over 150 people, mostly children, according to Iranian reports.
The situation remains fluid, with both sides exchanging strikes and rhetoric as mediation efforts, including those involving Qatar, have faced setbacks. Energy markets have reacted sharply to disruptions in the region, with oil prices elevated.
Further details on the condition of the injured civilians were not immediately released. Al Jazeera and other outlets are monitoring the story.
