As the US military bombed targets across Iran for an 11th straight night, Tehran residents reported hearing explosions in the early hours of Wednesday as Iran activated its air defences over the capital, Reuters quotes Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency as saying.*

Three locations in Iran’s Bushehr Province, home to Iran’s only nuclear power plant, were hit by US attacks earlier today, an official told Iran’s state news agency IRNA, including an electricity post close to the plant.

Al Jazeera reported that the provincial deputy governor for security affairs told Fars that two explosions occurred in the city of Bushehr and a third took place near Khormoj. He said the attack resulted in no loss of life or injuries.

He said power was temporarily knocked out in Bandar-e Gah village after missiles struck an electrical substation near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant but was restored within two hours.
