TEHRAN, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Several areas in the Iranian capital Tehran and the neighboring Alborz province came under U.S. and Israeli attacks on Sunday night, which led to blackouts in a number of neighborhoods, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
In Tehran, the strikes targeted five districts of the city and hit some residential units, the report added.
According to Fars, the power outage in parts of Tehran and Alborz was due to the bombs' shrapnel that damaged electricity facilities and installations, including a high-voltage transmission tower in Alborz and a substation in Tehran.
Fars later reported that electricity supply in all affected areas has been resumed and is stable.
On Sunday night, the Israeli military said in a statement that it is striking targets across Tehran.
The developments came amid a U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict starting from Feb. 28, with heavy fighting continuing between the relevant parties and no breakthrough on a ceasefire as it entered its 30th day on Sunday. ■
