Israel has attacked Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, Iranian state television said.

The report said that there was “no radiation danger whatsoever” and that the facility had already been evacuated.

Israel had warned earlier Thursday that it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee the area.

The warning on X included a satellite image of the plant in a red circle like other warnings that preceded strikes.

The Israeli military said Thursday’s round of airstrikes targeted Tehran and other areas of Iran, without elaborating. It later said that Iran fired a new salvo of missiles at Israel, and it told the public to take shelter.
