On March 21, Iranian forces launched a second strike on Dimona, a city in southern Israel, triggering heightened air alerts across the region. A journalist named Nikita Kulyukhin reported from near Beersheba that emergency protocols were active and he was searching for an underground shelter. He noted that while most buildings were closed, residents could seek refuge in nearby underground parking lots if no designated bomb shelters were accessible.
The attack occurred earlier that day, with rocket fragments recorded near the Dimona nuclear research center following intercepted missile explosions. A fire immediately broke out at the incident site. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed it had received no reports of damage to the facility or elevated radiation levels in the surrounding area.
