JERUSALEM, March 25 (Xinhua) -- A missile fired from Iran on Wednesday evaded Israel's air defense systems and struck the city of Dimona, near which Israel's main nuclear facility and reactor are located, state-owned Kan TV reported.
Air raid sirens in the area sounded in the morning and early afternoon, warning of incoming missile attacks, according to the Home Front Command. The Israeli military did not officially confirm whether the missile was intercepted.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported no injuries.
Kan reported that the missile struck Dimona, located about 13 km northwest of the nuclear site in the Negev Desert, without elaborating on whether there was damage.
The Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, often referred to as the "Dimona reactor," is one of Israel's most heavily guarded sites.
Iran has repeatedly targeted the area since Saturday, when a missile attack injured 64 people in Dimona. Tehran said the attack was in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Natanz nuclear facility. ■
