Fire at Phase 14 of gas field, extinguishing efforts continue
A fire broke out at Kangan Port in Iran's Bushehr province following what Iranian media reported as an Israeli drone strike targeting Phase 14 of the South Pars gas field.
“Phase 14 of the South Pars gas field was targeted by a strike from the Zionist regime,” Fars news agency reported.
As a result, “parts of this phase caught fire, and fire trucks are currently working to extinguish the blaze,” the agency said.
The news agency, citing local sources and witnesses, said the attack was carried out using a small drone resembling a UAV.
Israel launched a series of strikes against Iranian territory, targeting nuclear and missile facilities early Friday, killing senior military figures and scientists.
The wave of attacks has continued and resulted in the deaths of at least 78 people with 320 others injured, according to figures earlier announced by Iran's UN envoy. The unofficial death toll, however, could be much higher.
