Iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles and drones at Israel on Saturday, June 14, 2025, causing widespread damage in communities in north Israel, killing three people and injuring dozens.
The Iranian missile barrage was in retaliation for Friday's Israeli strikes which destroyed residential buildings in Tehran, including a 14-storey housing complex where 60 people, including 20 children, were reportedly killed.
Israel launched a massive air offensive on Friday targeting Iranian nuclear sites, military bases, military officials and top scientists, killing at least 78 people.
The United States, backing Israel, helped intercept Iranian missiles and warned of harsher consequences if Iran does not curtail its nuclear ambitions.
Both sides suffered civilian casualties, and the conflict threatens to spiral into a wider regional war.
Tensions remain high with fears of further escalation, regional destabilisation, and global economic fallout.
