ISTANBUL, April 5 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- A US-Israel airstrike targeted Ahvaz International Airport in Iran’s southwestern Khuzestan province, Anadolu Ajansi reported, citing the semi-official Tasnim News Agency on Sunday.

No casualties were reported in the strike.

The outlet, citing a deputy governor in Khuzestan, said attacks had targeted several locations across the province in recent days, without providing details on injuries or damage.

The attack comes as hostilities in the region have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing over 1,340 people to date, including the then supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
