TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian media reports a police chief and another officer were killed in a drone strike today, about 300 kilometres (186 miles) west of Tehran, as Israel kept up its air campaign against the Islamic Republic for a second day.

“This morning, police chief Major Habibollah Akbarian, along with second lieutenant Amir Hossein Seifi, were martyred by a drone strike in Asadabad city in the western province of Hamedan,” the ISNA press agency reports.
