BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 23. Israel has reportedly struck one of the main squares in Karaj, a city located in Iran’s northern Alborz Province, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate, Trend reports.
The targeted area is known as Sepah Square — considered one of the largest and most central locations in Karaj.
Footage published by local sources shows a large explosion resulting from the strike. There have been no official reports of casualties or injuries following the incident.
