, June 17 -- At least three people were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting Iran's state-run broadcaster in Tehran, according to Iranian state media.

Earlier reports confirmed the deaths of a news editor and another staff member from the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).

The attack came after the Israeli military issued evacuation warnings to residents in the area of the capital where the broadcaster's headquarters is located.

Footage from the live broadcast showed a female news presenter abruptly reacting mid-sentence before leaving her desk in haste. Moments later, the studio filled with grey smoke and flying debris before the transmission was cut off.
