ISTANBUL (Bernama-Anadolu): New explosions were heard in the Iranian capital Tehran amid United States (US)-Israeli attacks, an Anadolu Ajansı correspondent reported on Sunday morning.

According to Anadolu, there were no immediate reports of casualties or property damage.

Regional tensions have soared since the US and Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran on Feb 28, killing more than 1,000 people to date, including Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, over 150 schoolgirls, and senior military officials.

Iran has retaliated with sweeping strikes of its own that have targeted US bases, diplomatic facilities, and military personnel across the region, as well as multiple Israeli cities. -- BERNAMA-ANADOLU
