Following a series of suspicious fires and explosions in Iran, at least seven ships have caught fire on Wednesday at the country’s Bushehr port, several sources reported to Avatoday.

State TV confirmed the news and showed videos of fighters trying to control the fire.

No casualties were reported, according to the agency.

There have been several suspicious explosions and fires around Iranian military, nuclear and industrial facilities since late June, some of them targeted sensitive nuclear sites.

Earlier, a fire broke out at Iran’s underground Natanz facility, the heart of the country’s uranium enrichment program, which authorities said had caused significant damage.
