UN Nuclear Watchdog Reports No Damage to Israeli Nuclear Center Following Iranian Strike

Dimona: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated on Saturday that there was no indication of damage to Israel's Negev Nuclear Research Center after an Iranian missile strike targeted the city of Dimona. The IAEA confirmed that no abnormal radiation levels had been detected in the region.

According to Anadolu Agency, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi emphasized the importance of "maximum military restraint," particularly near nuclear facilities. The agency reported Grossi is closely monitoring the situation as tensions remain high.

The city of Dimona, located in southern Israel and home to the Negev Nuclear Research Center, witnessed dozens of injuries after a barrage of Iranian missiles hit the area. These strikes are part of Iran's retaliatory actions against Israel, following US-Israeli joint attacks on Iran that commenced on February 28.
