A drone that exploded in an open area in the southern coastal city of Ashkelon this morning was launched from Yemen, according to the IDF’s latest assessments.
The impact caused no injuries but sparked a small fire.
Meanwhile, the IDF says that a drone launched from Lebanon at Nahariya this morning exploded in an open area. Footage from the incident appeared to show the drone exploding on a pedestrian bridge at the city’s train station.
Shrapnel from the blast rained down on the area, causing slight damage to a train carriage.
Separately, the IDF says another drone launched from Lebanon this morning was shot down by air defenses over the Upper Galilee.
