BREAKING: Israel Power Station Directly Hit by Iranian Missile

 According to the CNN News, in a dramatic escalation of hostilities, an Iranian missile has directly struck a power station in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod, causing significant damage and widespread power outages across the region.

Emergency services are currently on the scene, battling fires and assessing casualties. Preliminary reports suggest that while there were no immediate fatalities, several workers sustained injuries from the blast. The extent of infrastructure damage remains under evaluation, with officials warning of prolonged electricity disruptions affecting thousands of residents.

The attack marks one of the most direct Iranian strikes on critical civilian infrastructure in recent years, signaling a dangerous intensification in the long-standing regional conflict. Iranian state media has claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it was in retaliation for alleged Israeli strikes on Iranian military sites earlier this week.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the strike, calling it an “act of war against innocent civilians” and vowing a “forceful response.” The U.S., EU, and several Arab nations have expressed concern over the incident, urging de-escalation to prevent further regional instability.

The targeted facility is a key energy hub supplying power to central and southern Israel. Defense officials have confirmed that parts of the country’s grid are now operating under emergency protocols.

This breaking development comes amid heightened tensions following a series of cyberattacks, drone strikes, and covert operations attributed to both nations in recent months

As the situation unfolds, security across major Israeli cities has been heightened, with air defense systems placed on maximum alert.
