Several buildings at the Iranian Natanz nuclear facility were damaged after US-Israeli attacks, CNN reported, citing satellite images taken by Vantor.

„Satellite images taken by Vantor over the past 48 hours show damage to the Natanz nuclear facility. According to CNN's analysis of the images, damage was caused to a large warehouse and two small two-story buildings,“ the report said.

It is noted that these structures could serve as access points for workers and vehicles to the underground structures of the facility.

On Monday, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said that the agency saw no signs of damage or attack on any of Iran's nuclear facilities, including the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Israeli Air Force planes hit two buildings on the southern outskirts of Beirut.

The airspace of Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait will be closed to flights until at least 12:00 Bulgarian time, a source in air traffic control told TASS.

„The aviation authorities of Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain again extended the closure of their countries' airspace, now until 10:00 UTC (12:00 Bulgarian time)“, the agency's source said. He noted that the flight ban imposed on the morning of February 28 is being extended based on the current situation.

The Shiite movement Hezbollah carried out a drone strike against the Ramat David air base in northern Israel. This was reported in a statement published on the movement's Telegram channel.

“On Tuesday morning, the movement attacked radar stations and control towers at the Ramat David air base with a group of drones“, the statement said.

Hezbollah explained that the attack was carried out “in response to the Israeli aggression and bombing of cities and towns, including Beirut, which caused numerous civilian casualties and forced many residents to flee their homes“.
