Explosions have been reported in Iran, Israel, and several Middle Eastern states after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Saturday.

Iran has responded by firing waves of missiles and drones at Israel and US military bases across the region.

Israel's air force stated it dropped over 1,200 munitions across 24 of Iran's 31 provinces in the joint operation with the US.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it attacked 27 bases hosting US troops in the Middle East, as well as Israeli military facilities in Tel Aviv and other areas.

Iran has launched strikes across eight regional countries: Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Most attacks were intercepted.

US Central Command reported three US soldiers killed and five seriously wounded by Iranian attacks.

Preliminary figures from the Iranian Red Crescent Society and state-linked media indicate 201 people killed and at least 747 injured. The deadliest single incident occurred in Minab, southeastern Iran, where a strike on an elementary girls' school killed at least 148 and injured 95.

In Israel, an Iranian ballistic missile strike on Beit Shemesh killed eight and injured about 20. In the Tel Aviv area, one woman was confirmed killed, with 121 others injured.

In Bahrain, Iranian missiles targeted the US Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters. Bahrain's Ministry of Interior confirmed a drone attack on the international airport caused material damage but no casualties.

In Iraq, US and Israeli strikes on the Jurf al-Sakher base killed two fighters and wounded five.
