Officials attribute attack on weapons factory to drones

A series of powerful explosions damaged a government weapons factory in the central city of Isfahan last weekend, according to witnesses and footage from the scene, in what officials said was a coordinated drone attack.

Flames were seen coming from a military industrial complex thought to be a production hub for drones and missiles that have been used across the Middle East and by Russian forces in Ukraine. There was no immediate confirmation about who was responsible, but the attacks appear to fit a pattern of strikes against strategic sites across Iran that have been attributed to Israel in recent years.
