Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleExplosions are heard this afternoon in the Iranian port city of Bushehr, three semiofficial Iranian media outlets report. It is not immediately clear what caused the blasts.
Bushehr is home to Iran’s only nuclear power plant, which is run with Russian assistance. Iranian authorities have not reported any problem at the plant.
Meanwhile, explosions also struck the city of Yazd in central Iran, with some suggesting it came from Israeli airstrikes targeting a power plant and a military garrison.
