“No damage or casualties were reported. Police and sappers are working at the scene,” according to police. Police appealed to the public to remain vigilant and obey its guidelines. It urged citizens to stay away from strike sites and destruction, avoid touching parts of missiles or interceptors, and allow police and rescue forces carry out their “life-saving” work.

The police said it was prepared in all regions and would continue to maintain public security. It urged the public to call the emergency hotline when faced with exceptional events.
