Users circulated a video clip showing an explosion of a ship, claiming it documents its targeting in the Strait of Hormuz by a remotely controlled, bomb-laden boat allegedly operated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. This followed claims that a vessel belonging to the UAE-based company ADNOC was attacked by a missile while passing through the strait. However, visual and comparative analysis revealed that the footage actually dates back to Russian naval exercises from July 2025, during which Russian naval units used floating platforms as target models for shooting and training purposes. It has no connection to the recent incident or any recent targeting in the strait. Additionally, data indicates that the images and scenes are from a previous training scenario, raising doubts about attributing the clip to the last attack. It confirms that explosive footage in military drills is often used for training purposes and does not serve as evidence of a recent attack on a commercial vessel.
