2 killed as airstrike hits railway bridge in central Iran

Two people were killed and three others injured in an airstrike on a railway bridge in Iran’s central city of Kashan on Tuesday, Iranian media reported.

The state news agency IRNA, citing the deputy governor for security affairs in Isfahan, said the Yahya Abad railway bridge in Kashan was targeted in a US-Israeli attack.

He said two people were killed and three others injured in the strike, without providing further details about damage on site.

The attack came hours after the Israeli army warned Iranians not to travel by train and avoid train stations across the country.

Regional escalations have continued to rage since Israel and the US launched an offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
