EU issues airspace warning to airlines

In a statement on the EASA website, airlines were advised not to use Iranian airspace at any flight level.

The statement noted that the decision, issued as a "recommendation" in coordination with the European Commission due to Iran's attack on Israel yesterday and Israel's declared intention to retaliate, is valid until October 31.

The statement, which noted that EASA is closely monitoring developments, indicated that the decision could be extended or withdrawn depending on how the situation evolves.

IRAN'S MISSILE ATTACKS ON ISRAEL

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps reported yesterday that a missile attack had been launched against Israel, which it said had targeted Iran's "national security."

It was stated that the attack was carried out in response to Israeli strikes that killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and Iranian Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan.

Iranian state television later announced that approximately 200 missiles were fired at Israel and that hypersonic Fattah-1 missiles were used for the first time. Following the missile launches, sirens sounded across the country, particularly in Tel Aviv.

In a video statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that with the missile attack, Iran had "made a big mistake and will pay for it."
