Report: Rockets hit Iranian village
Two American missiles struck a village in south-west Iran early today, according to a report by the country’s Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
IRNA had said yesterday that three people were injured when an earlier US missile struck an oil depot in Abadan.
The state-run news agency also said British and American jets had entered Iranian airspace several times.
The two rockets hit Manyuhi village near the border with Iraq’s Al-Faw Peninsula, an Iranian military commander told IRNA. He gave no details of casualties or damage.
“In the border city of Arvand-Kenar, the invading American and British airplanes violated the airspace of the Islamic Republic of Iran three times,” the commander said. “In two cases, two rockets hit the Manyuhi village.”
The governor of Abadan told IRNA that three people, including a guard at the oil depot, had been released from hospital after receiving treatment.
Iran has strongly condemned the US-led military assault on Iraq.
