The Iranian official news agency (IRNA) reported "no major damage" in Iran after reports of hearing explosions near the city of Isfahan (central) early Friday.

The agency said, "After activating air defense in some areas of the country, reports indicate no significant damage or major explosions resulting from any aerial threat."

The agency added that in Isfahan province in the center of the country, where the explosions were heard, "important facilities, especially nuclear facilities, are completely safe, and no incidents have been reported there."
