Several explosions were heard in southern parts of Iran, including Bushehr, where one of Iran's nuclear plants is located, Konarak, and Choghadak, Iran's Mehr news agency reported on Thursday. Iran had activated its air defense systems in three different regions shortly beforehand, according to Ma'ariv citing local reports. US officials told The Jerusalem Post that America was not responsible for the explosions. However, a Bushehr official told IRNA that a military site in the region was hit by a US-Israeli projectile.
A Russian-built nuclear power plant was reportedly hit in US strikes on Iran's Bushehr province early Thursday morning, according to Iranian state media. According to the deputy governor of Bushehr Province, a US projectile hit the perimeter area of the facility, which had already been hit several times during the current conflict prior to the April 8 ceasefire.
The most recent round of US strikes on Iran was completed early Thursday morning. The US military struck approximately 90 sites throughout southern Iran "to further degrade Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civil mariners in the Strait of Hormuz," the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on X/Twitter. Iranian officials said the US attacks had killed 14 people and injured 78 across five provinces on Wednesday and Thursday, state media reported. (Read More)
