On Saturday night, media reported a powerful blast at the ammunition depot in the city of Isfahan, located in central Iran, about 440 kilometers south of Tehran.
Early on Sunday, the Iranian Defense Ministry reported several drone attacks on a military site in the central Iranian province. Later, the state news agency - citing the defense ministry - reported that an ammunition depot in the city of Isfahan was targeted by drones.

“One of [the drones] was hit by … air defense and the other two were caught in defense traps and blown up. Fortunately, this unsuccessful attack did not cause any loss of life and caused minor damage to the workshop’s roof,” Iranian news agency said in a statement.

As one source told to a Sputnik correspondent, the facility in Isfahan was targeted by ordinary UAVs, not by attack drones. The explosions at the military facility were caused by air defenses. Also, there is no official confirmation of reports suggesting there were strikes on 14 Iranian military sites.
