Residents of Tehran report some of the heaviest airstrikes of the current war, saying extensive strikes have led to electricity cuts in many neighborhoods.

One resident of the western part of the capital says his neighborhood was shaking for half an hour because of strikes around midnight last night. Another resident says he didn’t think he would survive the night.

A 27-year-old mother of a toddler says she witnessed what she says was a residential building get hit. She and others reached by The Associated Press speak on condition of anonymity to prevent reprisals.

Iranian media claims civilians were the main casualties in the overnight strikes. Those claims cannot be independently confirmed.
