Israel launches fresh airstrikes on Iran's Fordow nuclear site
ISTANBUL: Israel launched new airstrikes on the Fordow nuclear site, south of the Iranian capital Tehran, on Monday, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported, citing Iranian media.
"Moments ago, the aggressor enemy attacked the Fordow nuclear site again," said a spokesperson from the Qom Province Crisis Management Headquarters.
The semi-official Tasnim News Agency confirmed the attack but did not provide details about the damage.
The strike came a day after United States forces bombed three nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
Israel and Iran have been engaged in aerial combat since June 13, when Tel Aviv launched a surprise attack on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to respond with retaliatory strikes.
At least 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to the Iranian Health Ministry.
