Blasts heard in Israel

Loud explosions were reported above Jerusalem after the Israeli military said it had “identified missiles launched from Iran,” triggering air raid sirens across the city and parts of central Israel.

There were no immediate reports of direct impacts or casualties, and it remained unclear whether the explosions were caused by interceptions of the incoming projectiles.
