Shortly before 9 PM local time, residents of Karaj reported a loud explosion followed by a fire at a power station.

Iranian local sources claim that air defense systems in western Tehran were activated moments after the explosion, with multiple interceptor rounds reportedly fired. Witnesses also observed low-flying fighter jets over the area.

Unconfirmed reports suggest the target may have been a key logistics base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), known as Shokht-e-Pur, located near the power facility.
