Air defence systems were heard engaging what were described as “hostile targets” in parts of the Iranian capital Tehran on Thursday evening, according to Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency.

The report did not provide details on the nature of the targets or whether any damage or interceptions occurred.

Mehr, which is affiliated with Iran’s government, did not elaborate further on the incident, and there has been no independent confirmation of the source or scale of the reported activity.

Authorities in Tehran have not yet issued an official statement clarifying the situation or confirming whether the engagement involved drones, missiles, or other aerial objects.

This is a developing story.
