Israel-Iran War: Sounds of fresh explosions were heard coming from the northern part of Iran, with Israel confirming that it had struck a radar installation near Tehran.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed the development, while several Iranian media outlets reported that sounds of explosions were heard in the north.
This comes hours after US President Donald Trump said an Iran-Israel ceasefire was now “in effect”.
The Etemad and Ham Mihan newspapers said explosions were heard and air defences were activated in Babol and Babolsar, two towns about 200 kilometres (124 miles) northeast of Tehran on the Caspian Sea.
Israel said that the strike was in response to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire, while informing that it refrained from further strikes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with US President Donald Trump.
“Following President Trump’s conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel refrained from additional attacks,” Netanyahu’s office said.
