Iranian state media said the country’s air defences brought down three small drones over the central city of Isfahan, hours after United States broadcasters, citing senior US officials, reported Israeli missiles had hit an Iranian site, according to Al Jazeera.

Iranian state television reported explosions in Isfahan, as air defences were activated and flights across several areas including Tehran and Isfahan were suspended.

Airspace was reopened about four and a half hours after the incident and there were no reports of casualties.

Second Brigadier General Siavash Mihandoust, the top military official in Isfahan, told state media that air defence batteries hit “a suspicious object” and there was no damage.

ABC News reported earlier, citing a senior US official, that Israel had launched missiles at a site in Iran. CBS News also reported that an Israeli attack had taken place.

Iranian media report that no strikes were launched on Iran from outside the country, and the attack is believed to have been launched using small quadcopters that would have to have been launched from inside Iran.
