According to the Lebanese official news agency NNA, the Israeli army targeted southern regions with airstrikes during the night. The report stated that Israeli warplanes bombed the town of Kefr Dunin, affiliated with the southern city of Nabatieh, and also targeted the town of Benaful near the southern capital Beirut.

The report also noted that the Israeli army targeted towns in the Western Bekaa region with howitzer artillery during the night. A written statement from the Jordanian Armed Forces indicated that five Iran-sourced missiles launched towards the Ezrak area in the Zarqa province were detected.

The statement added that the missiles were destroyed by air defense systems and that debris from the missiles caused no casualties or material damage. The Kuwaiti army, via the social media account of the US-based company X, stated, "Our air defense systems are currently working to prevent an attack on the country."

The statement did not provide detailed information about the source or nature of the attacks but called on citizens to follow security instructions. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that in response to US attacks on southern Iran, the Muvaffak Salti military base in Jordan was targeted with missile strikes.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it completed its strikes against Iran, launched in response to the downing of a US Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. Bahrain's Ministry of Interior announced sirens sounding in the country and urged the public to move to safe locations.

The Iranian Armed Forces reported that in retaliation for US attacks on southern Iran, some US bases in the region were targeted with "powerful strikes." Iran announced that an MQ-9 Reaper drone belonging to the US was shot down in the southern Bushehr province. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the US 5th Fleet in Bahrain was attacked with drones in response to the strikes.

Iranian media reported new explosion sounds in the city of Jask, located in the Hormozgan province in southern Iran. Iranian state television reported, "Several explosions were heard in Jask at 02:35." The state broadcaster also announced that the US targeted two water reservoirs in the city of Sirik, also in Hormozgan province, causing water outages in the area.

The state television further clarified that no commercial ports on Qeshm Island were targeted in the attacks. Iranian Foreign Minister Erakchi stated that Iran's armed forces will not leave any attack or threat unanswered. In a statement on the US-based company X social media platform, Erakchi commented on the US attacks on southern Iran.

Erakchi said, "Despite defeats on the battlefield, the US chose to test our determination. Our strong armed forces will not leave any attack or threat unanswered." Emphasizing that the US should leave the region if it wants to be safe, Erakchi added, "The history of the Persian Gulf contains many chapters about the dire fate of foreigners who entered the region without permission."

US President Donald Trump stated that the US launched attacks on Iran in response to the downing of a US Apache helicopter. Iranian media reported explosion sounds on Qeshm and Jask islands as well. Following the announcement of US military strikes, Iranian media reported explosions on Qeshm and Jask islands.

In a statement on the X platform, CENTCOM announced that counterattacks against Iran have begun. The command stated, "CENTCOM began legitimate defensive strikes against Iran today at 17:00 (US Eastern Time) following the downing of a US Apache helicopter yesterday, under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief (Donald Trump). This operation is a proportional response to Iran's unjust aggression."
