Lorestan Deputy Governor Saeed Pur'ali stated that the booster of a missile launcher fell in a neighborhood of Dorud, western Iran, causing minor damage to a parking lot. He reported no casualties and said the location of the main part of the missile is unknown. The statement follows earlier reports of a ballistic missile failure.
At 16:59 Jerusalem, Lorestan Deputy Governor Saeed Pur'ali officially confirmed that the booster from a missile launch fell in a residential neighborhood of Dorud, western Iran, causing minor damage to a parking lot and no casualties. The confirmation follows a chain of reports The Zioneer has tracked since mid-afternoon.
At 15:19 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported, based on a source monitoring Iranian news, that ballistic missile debris had struck a building in Dorud. A subsequent bulletin at the same time specified the booster had crashed into the building. At 16:44 Jerusalem, The Zioneer detailed that the booster had fallen in a residential area and that the missile's main body location was unknown. The deputy governor's statement now corroborates those accounts with official attribution.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian missile incidents in the region. On July 8, a Bushehr deputy governor confirmed that two military bases were struck by rocket barrages. On June 10, a glowing object was sighted over Lorestan, possibly a missile aimed at Kurdish opposition groups in Iraq. These incidents underscore sustained missile activity in western Iran.
The location of the missile's main body remains unknown, and the intended target of the launch has not been disclosed. The deputy governor did not specify the origin of the launch or the type of missile.
