Israel 'intercepting missiles' and reports of explosions in Iran

 The Israeli military is urging people to shelter as sirens are sounding across several areas of Israel.

It says its air force is attempting to intercept missiles launched by Iran.

We're also getting reports of explosions in Iran.

BBC Persian correspondent Ghoncheh Habibiazad says she is hearing that residents in the central Iranian province of Isfahan have heard explosions.

The Mehr News Agency also says that explosions were heard in eastern and northern parts of Isfahan, and the country’s air defence has been activated.

Yesterday, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that a nuclear facility had been damaged at Isfahan.
