A projectile struck the perimeter of Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant on Friday, killing one person, according to the country's state media. The Tasnim news agency reported the incident damaged a building near the plant and resulted in the death of a security staff member.
Initial reports from Tasnim did not specify the origin or nature of the projectile. The agency stated the incident caused no damage to the nuclear facilities themselves and did not result in any radioactive release. Operations at the power plant are reported to be continuing normally.
The Bushehr plant, Iran's only operational nuclear power station, has been a focal point of international attention and sanctions over the country's nuclear program. Authorities have launched an investigation into the source of the attack. No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the strike.
This incident occurs amid heightened regional tensions. International observers are closely monitoring the situation for potential escalations and awaiting further details from the official investigation.
