Iran says the country’s air defences shot down at least three drones over the central city of Isfahan in what is considered a retaliatory attack by Israel.
Iran has last weekend shot over 300 drones and missiles at Israel leaving almost two dozens injured.
The explosions in Isfahan prompted Iran to activate air defences while flights across several areas including Tehran and Isfahan were suspended.
Airspace was however reopened about four and a half hours after the incident and there were no reports of casualties.
Isfahan is considered a strategically important city and one that is host to several important sites, including military research and development facilities, as well as bases. The nearby city of Natanz is the location of one of Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites
It is unclear how Iran would respond to this as
the Country’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian earlier claimed that if Israel takes any further military action against Iran, its response would be “immediate and at a maximum level.”
