(MENAFN) A new barrage of explosions struck the Iranian capital Tehran on Tuesday, sending smoke billowing across the city’s skyline and prompting the immediate activation of Iran’s air defense systems, correspondents and local media reported.

A correspondent on the ground confirmed that multiple blasts were heard across Tehran, with visible smoke rising from the city’s northern districts. Iranian media separately reported additional explosions in the western and southern areas of the capital, suggesting a broad and coordinated strike pattern.

Air defense systems were swiftly engaged in the aftermath, signaling that further aerial threats may have been detected over the city.

Tuesday’s bombardment marks the latest escalation in a conflict that has shown no signs of abating since US and Israeli forces launched a joint military campaign against Iran on Feb. 28. Since then, Tehran has responded with relentless waves of drone and missile strikes directed at Israel and Gulf nations that host US military personnel and assets.

The full extent of damage and any casualties from Tuesday’s blasts have not yet been confirmed as the situation continues to develop rapidly on the ground.
