TEHRAN, March 27 (Xinhua) -- A yellowcake production plant in central Iran's Yazd province was hit by U.S.-Israeli strikes on Friday, with no radioactive leaks reported so far, several media reports showed, citing Iran's atomic energy organization.
The plant, inaugurated in May 2023, produces yellowcake, a uranium concentrate powder obtained from leach solutions and serving as an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores.
Separately, Iran's official news agency IRNA reported Friday that two people were killed and two others injured in U.S.-Israeli strikes on a cement plant in the southwestern Fars province. ■
