Drones Attack Military Plant in Iran's Isfahan, Causing Minor Damage with No Casualties

In a shocking turn of events, a military plant located in Iran's central city of Isfahan was attacked by drones on Sunday night. The incident took place at 10:30 pm local time and according to Mohammad Reza Jan-Nesari, the deputy head of security for Isfahan governorate, the explosion left some damage but there were no casualties. The state news agency IRNA confirmed that the explosion was caused by small drones and stated that the air defense system of the complex was able to destroy two other drones while one of them managed to strike the building, causing minor damage to the roof.

The plant is located about 440 kilometers south of Tehran and has been the target of several attacks in recent years. The most notable of these incidents was the fire that broke out in the Iranian Natanz nuclear complex in July 2020. The fire resulted in significant damage to the complex and the Iranian authorities decided not to publicly announce the cause due to security concerns.

The following year, a blackout occurred in Natanz on the anniversary of National Nuclear Day, with the Iran Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) calling it a "terrorist action." Israel's army chief hinted at possible Israeli involvement in the incident. In October 2019, an oil tanker belonging to the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) was hit and damaged by two missiles. While the National Iranian Tanker Company initially suggested that the attack was carried out from Saudi soil, this claim was later dismissed and the Iranian government did not provide any alternative conclusion.

Earlier that year, a truck loaded with explosives detonated and struck a bus carrying members of the Iranian military's elite Revolutionary Guard in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan. The suicide attack claimed the lives of at least 23 people and injured 17 others. The separatist group Jaish al-Adl or Army of Justice claimed responsibility for the attack.

In conclusion, the drone attack on the military plant in Isfahan is the latest in a series of attacks on Iranian military and nuclear facilities. The Iranian authorities have yet to announce who is behind the attack, but the incident has raised serious concerns about the security of Iran's sensitive military sites. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and is waiting for the Iranian authorities to release more details about the incident.

While it may be convenient to simply snap a photo with your phone and have it automatically uploaded to the cloud, not taking steps to sort and manage your photos can create significant risks and make it difficult to maintain your collection in the future.

While Google has a strong data security record and successful hacks are rare, each piece of unnecessary data that you store adds an additional risk if something does go wrong. In addition to the risk of d
