A "massive explosion" and fire took place at a key port in the Iranian province of Hormozgan, more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) south of Tehran, state media reported Saturday.

"The explosion occurred in a part of the Shahid Rajaee port dock, and we are extinguishing the fire," state television quoted senior Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Administration official Esmaeil Malekizadeh as saying.
