Several Iranian state TV employees killed in Israeli airstrike, reports say

Iranian state television has confirmed that several of its employees were killed in an Israeli airstrike, according to reports broadcast by the network.

The attack reportedly targeted the area where the state broadcaster’s facilities are located - a small settlement in Tehran's third district, which is home to thousands of workers and residents.

The BBC reported that the state television station is among the major structures in this densely populated district.

Earlier in the day, the Israeli military released a map highlighting the third district of Tehran, which included the Iranian state television building, and issued a warning urging civilians in the area to evacuate.
