According to reports on Thursday evening, air defense systems were activated in the southern Iranian city of Chabahar, followed by explosions heard in the area. The reports describe this as a new wave of attacks in southern Iran, continuing a pattern of strikes that have targeted Iranian air defense and military infrastructure in recent weeks. The Zioneer reported earlier tonight at 21:03 that air defense systems were also activated in Bushehr, southern Iran, as part of the same ongoing wave. The current report from Chabahar suggests the attacks are expanding along the southern coast. The cause of the explosions and any damage or casualties have not yet been confirmed.
