An enemy drone attacked two fishing boats 14 nautical miles south of Iran's Qeshm Island on Saturday, leaving two fishermen missing and two wounded, Iran's semi official Fars news agency reported.
Why it matters: Qeshm sits at the Strait of Hormuz, so any strike on civilian boats there lands in the waterway carrying a large share of global oil trade, at a moment of repeated reported incidents around the strait this week.
