A ballistic missile launched from a base in central Iran toward Arab states suffered a technical failure and its booster fell on a building in the city of Dorud, Lorestan province, damaging structures, according to a source monitoring Iran news. The missile was launched from either Khorramabad or Aligudarz.
New details obtained by The Zioneer at 16:44 Jerusalem time indicate that the ballistic missile that struck a building in Dorud, Lorestan province, earlier today suffered a technical failure mid-flight, causing its booster to separate and crash into the building. The missile was launched from either the Khorramabad or Aligudarz base and was heading toward Arab states, according to a source monitoring Iran developments.
The Zioneer first reported at 15:19 Jerusalem that remnants of a ballistic missile had fallen on a building in Dorud, damaging several structures. A subsequent bulletin at 15:20 Jerusalem confirmed the initial report. The source at that time did not specify the missile's origin or target. The new details now provide more specific information about the launch bases and the nature of the failure.
The launch is part of a series of Iranian ballistic missile firings toward Arab states in recent days. As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, June 11, Iran launched ballistic missiles from Tabriz, and on Sunday morning, 12 ballistic missiles were reported fired at the US Muwaffaq al-Salti base in Jordan and a base in Kuwait. The region remains on alert amid ongoing hostilities.
The source did not specify the missile's intended target or whether the warhead also fell. No casualties have been reported in Dorud. The information comes from a single source and has not been independently corroborated.
