Hyderabad, Aug. 31 -- Iran launched missiles towards targets across the region in the early hours of Monday, August 31, in retaliation for US strikes on two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launchers on Larak Island, the first known American attack on Iranian targets since late July.

Air-defence activity was reported in Jordan, while alerts emerged in Dubai, Qatar and Kuwait. Iranian state television said missiles were launched from several locations across the country as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalated.

Iranian media reported launches from various areas, with unverified accounts describing activity from Tehran, Karaj, East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Urmia, Zanjan, Shiraz, Lorestan and Khorramabad.
