Blasts heard in Iran’s Isfahan, Israel hits target

KABUL (Pajhwok): Explosions were heard in Isfahan city of Iran before three small drones were brought down hours after US media, quoting senior American officials, said Israeli missiles had hit an Iranian site.

Iranian state television reported explosions in Isfahan as air defenses were activated and flights across several areas, including the capital Tehran and Isfahan, were suspended.

Airspace was reopened about four and a half hours after the incident and there were no reports of casualties.

Second Brigadier General Siavash Mihandoust, the top military official in Isfahan, told state media that air defence batteries hit “a suspicious object” and there was no damage.

Earlier, ABC News reported, quoting a senior US official, that Israel had launched missiles at a site in Iran. CBS News also reported that an Israeli attack had taken place.

Iranian media said no strikes were launched on Iran from outside the country, and the attack was believed to have been carried out using small quadcopters that would have to have been launched from inside Iran.
