Iran launched attacks on oil facilities and tankers in the Persian Gulf on Thursday. This action led to multiple Gulf states intercepting drones and missiles.

The events unfolded as the United States, Israel, and Iran engaged in continued exchanges of strikes across the Middle East region.

Israel announced that it had identified missiles being launched from Iran and directed towards its territory.

Sirens were heard sounding in central areas of Israel following the missile launches.

The full extent of the damage and any potential casualties from these attacks are not yet clear.

Authorities are monitoring the situation closely as tensions remain high in the region.

Further details are expected to be released by involved governments and international bodies.
