Several powerful explosions occurred at multiple locations in Tehran, sending thick black smoke into the air. Israel confirmed it had initiated attacks on Iranian government targets.
On 28 March 2026, AFP reported that multiple powerful explosions took place in Tehran, Iran's capital, early Saturday morning. Reporters on the scene heard at least about 10 blasts and saw thick black smoke rising over the city.
Reports indicated that the explosions were intense and caused alarm among local residents, while the situation remains difficult to resolve.
The Israeli military recently issued a statement confirming it had begun operations targeting Iranian government sites across various parts of Tehran, but did not provide further details on the targets or the extent of damage.
These events come amid an ongoing war lasting about one month, following US and Israeli attacks on Iran since late February. This latest assault reflects escalating tensions in the Middle East conflict, which shows no signs of ending and is likely to continue impacting regional security and the global economy.
