Iran media report blasts over Tehran, air defense systems activated
Air defense systems were activated in parts of Tehran on Thursday evening amid reports of hostile aerial activity, Iranian state media said in the first such reports since a ceasefire began.
The IRNA state news agency said the "sound of air defense firing" was heard in western Tehran, while the Mehr news agency reported that the systems were activated in several parts of the capital to counter "hostile targets", without elaborating further.
Iranian media reports said the hostile targets were two drones, as the Israeli army said it did not carry out any attack in Iran.
A U.S. official also told Al-Jazeera that the ceasefire with Iran was still in place.
