Explosions hit Iranian capital: AFP journalists

Several explosions were heard on Sunday in various parts of the Iranian capital, AFP journalists said, on the ninth day of the war with the United States and Israel.

It was not immediately clear what was targeted, with clouds of smoke still covering the Tehran skyline following overnight targeting of oil depots in and near the city.

Local media have reported the latest blasts.
