In Amirabad Shomali, one very heavy close-range explosion occurred. In central Tehran, including Moniriyeh and the Republic–Navab axis, fighter jets were flying at extremely low altitude while air defense systems were actively firing.
At 10:30, across western and central Tehran, including Sadeghiyeh, Gisha, Shadabad, and District 18, more than 10 missiles were observed passing overhead followed by delayed explosions.

At the same time, in eastern Tehran, including Piroozi, Nabard, and Abu Zar, 10–12 explosions were reported following visible incoming missiles from the west.
