Three killed, eight injured in Iran after U.S. attacks

Three people were killed and eight others injured in what Iranian officials described as "hostile attacks" in the southern Hormozgan province early Saturday. The casualties were reported by a local vice governor, according to the Iranian state news agency Irna.

Irna, citing the vice governor for political, security, and social affairs in Hormozgan province, stated on Telegram that "three persons' martyrdom, and that eight persons have been injured as a result of hostile attacks against parts of Hormozgan province this morning."

This comes after U.S. Central Command (Centcom) announced it had carried out attacks against Iran for the seventh night in a row. Centcom stated on social media platform X that the "attacks are designed to continue to weaken Iran's military capabilities" under orders from the top commander.

Centcom's announcement did not specify the locations within Iran where the attacks took place. However, shortly after the U.S. statement, explosions were reportedly heard in Yazd, in central Iran, according to Irna. Another Iranian state news agency, Mehr, also reported explosions "in several southern provinces."
