The media reported that Israel's air defenses were very active, but they could not cope with all the targets.
The announcement of the "beginning of Iranian missile attacks" on state television came shortly after a speech by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in which he promised that "the Islamic Republic will prevail over the Zionist regime."
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on the night of June 13, the Israeli army launched strikes on Iran.
