IRGC says Israel used air-launched ballistic missiles on targets in Iran


IRGC says Israel used air-launched ballistic missiles on targets in Iran


Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says in a statement that Israel carried out attacks on targets inside Iran using air-launched ballistic missiles, according to the IRNA news agency. 

Iranian state media reported explosions in Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan. 

The IDF said it had targeted sites in western and central Iran.

Iranian reports said Israel carried out strikes on around 15 targets, while Al Jazeera reported that one of them was a drone storage facility in Tehran.

Some reports also indicated that the Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran was among the targeted sites.

The IDF says its Air Force struck targets in central and western Iran, hours after Iran fired a wave of ballistic missiles at northern Israel.

Buildings collapse in Philippines and tsunami evacuations ordered after powerful earthquake


Horrifying footage shows scale of destruction from huge earthquake in Philippines


A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake has struck the southern Philippines.

The earthquake rocked the Mindanao region about 7.30am on Monday, local time, with US Geological Survey saying the quake struck undersea at about 24.7km west-southwest of Burias and at a depth of 35km. 

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre has issued a tsunami warning for possible waves up to 3m in the Philippines, with warnings also mentioning possible 1m waves in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Residents in Mindanao’s coastal communities have been urged to move to higher ground and to listen to tsunami warnings. 

The earthquake prompted the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre (JATWC), which operates within the Bureau of Meteorology, to place the Northern Territory and Christmas Island on Tsunami watch.


Another video captures the Jollibee building collapse in General Santos, Philippines following powerful earthquake. No word on casualties.

Footage shared on social media shows a building with a Jollibee fast-food chain logo collapsing as stunned locals watch on. 

A media release from Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said he had directed government agencies to immediately respond, with the office of Civil Defense coordinating disaster response and rescue operations. 

Evacuation centres and relief supplies have also been organised as damage assessments are carried out by local government authorities.

Marcos also ordered the suspension of classes and has closed all schools in the affected areas in Mindanao until further notice.

The Philippines is one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and sits on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, which refers to an area of seismic fault lines and volcanoes.

Several fatal earthquakes struck the Philippines last year, including a 6.9 magnitude quake that rocked the coast of Cebu in September, killing at least 72 people and causing extensive damage.

The IDF says that the Israeli Air Force struck military targets in western and central Iran, hours after Iran fired a salvo of missiles at northern Israel. 

Additional details will be provided later, the IDF adds.

Sounds of explosions were heard in Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan, in Iran, according to local media.

US President Donald Trump had said earlier that he was planning to urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off on any retaliation to the ballistic missile attacks.

7.8 magnitude earthquake shakes part of southern Philippines. Tsunami possible for some coasts. Multiple Quakes

A powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake shook the Mindanao region in the southern Philippines early Monday, and a tsunami was possible on some regional coasts.

No information on damage was immediately available.

The epicenter was 24.7 kilometers (15.3 miles) west-southwest of Burias, Philippines, and had a depth of 35 kilometers (22 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It struck at 7:37 a.m.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami waves up to 3 meters (10 feet) were possible on some coasts of the Philippines. Waves up to 1 meter (3 feet) were possible on some coasts of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Smaller tsunami waves were possible in Taiwan, Japan, Guam, Papua New Guinea and several island nations and territories in the western Pacific.

Residents felt the earthquake tremors in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi and North Maluku provinces.

The Philippines, one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, is often hit by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults around the ocean. The archipelago is also lashed by about 20 typhoons and tropical storms each year.
