Explosion in northeast Tehran: AFP journalist

An explosion hit northeastern Tehran on Wednesday, an AFP journalist said, on the fifth day of the Middle East war sparked by joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.

Iranian state television confirmed a powerful explosion, without providing further details.

An AFP journalist in Tehran saw a cloud of smoke rising in the northeast of the city and heard the roar of military aircraft in the sky at around 11:15 am (0745 GMT).
