TEHRAN, April 7 (Xinhua) -- An international airport in Iran's western province of Lorestan was attacked by the United States and Israel on Tuesday morning, with no casualties reported, Iran's official news agency IRNA said, citing a local official.

The attacks also damaged communications infrastructure in rural areas of Selseleh and Delfan counties in the province, disrupting telecommunications, said the report.

The U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on various parts of Chegeni city also damaged sports infrastructure, IRNA added.

Nour News, a media outlet affiliated with Iran's Supreme National Security Council, reported that Israel and the United States attacked airports in Urmia, Khoy, Kashan and Mashhad on Monday evening, and struck Qasem Soleimani International Airport in the southwestern city of Ahvaz with missiles on Sunday.

Since the beginning of the conflict in late February, the U.S. and Israeli attacks have targeted Mehrabad International Airport in the capital Tehran a number of times.

Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities on Feb. 28, with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, senior military commanders and civilians killed in the strikes.

Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. bases and assets across the Middle East.
