Iran launches missiles against Israeli territory and alarms sound throughout the country

Iran launched a missile attack against Israeli territory on Tuesday afternoon, confirmed the military spokesman in Arabic, Avichay Adraee, activating anti-aircraft alarms throughout the country.

“Recently, missiles have been launched from Iran towards the State of Israel. They are asked to remain alert and follow precisely the instructions of the Internal Front Command,” the Israeli Army said in a statement.

In Jerusalem, in addition to the sound of the alarms, which continue at this time, it was also possible to see missiles intercepted in the sky and the noise they made when they exploded.

This fulfills the warning that the United States had launched minutes earlier. A US government official warned that Iran would be preparing an imminent attack with ballistic missiles.

“We have indications that Iran is preparing an imminent launch of ballistic missiles against Israel,” he said.

“The United States is actively supporting defense preparations to defend Israel against this attack,” the source told EFE.

“Serious consequences” for Iran in case of attack

Likewise, the White House official warned Iran of “serious consequences if it decides to attack with direct military attack.”

An attack with ballistic missiles would complicate interception by the Israeli anti-aircraft defenses, since the projectiles follow a ballistic trajectory after reaching great heights, sometimes reaching the outermost layers of the atmosphere.

According to a US official told CNN, the US expects the Iranian attack to have a similar scale and objectives to the attack with hundreds of drones and missiles on April 13.

Israel foresaw large-scale attack

The spokesman for the Israeli Army, Daniel Hagari, had warned that the retaliatory attack with ballistic missiles from Iran could have a “large-scale” character.

“We are following the threat seriously. We ask the public to follow the guidelines of the Interior Front Command. Iran’s fire could be on a large scale,” Hagari said at a press conference, in which he asked the Israelis to take refuge in bunkers in case the anti-aircraft sirens are activated.

Hagari confirmed that the United States had informed Israel that Iran was preparing to attack in the coming hours, after the murder on Friday of the top leader of Hezbulah, Hassan Nasrala.

“We have faced this type of threat before and we will do it now too,” Hagari said in a previous message, which urged the Israelis to act “responsibly as they have done throughout the war” and recalled that air defense systems are prepared.

Iran already attacked Israel in April

This Monday, when Israel began an incursion into southern Lebanon, the United States had not yet detected the movement of military equipment in Iran, although this could change due to the Iranian ability to mobilize quickly, according to US sources told NBC.

This would be Iran’s first attack on Israel since April, when Iran attacked two Israeli air bases on the Negev with missiles and drones and reached points of the occupied territory of the Golan Heights, although Israel, the United States or Arab countries over which they flew managed to intercept most of the Iranian projectiles.

Mexican government prioritizes 191 communities after deadly floods

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on Wednesday that the death toll from recent rains and floods across several central states has risen to 66, while the federal government has activated air bridges and prioritized assistance in 191 isolated communities.

“Unfortunately, 66 people have died, and 75 remain missing,” the president said during her morning press conference. She added that the official death toll will be updated later in a new report.

As of Tuesday, authorities had reported 64 fatalities. Sheinbaum also announced the creation of a public information center to centralize official data on the deceased, missing persons, damaged homes, and cut-off communities.

According to the president, the number of missing persons has decreased thanks to coordination with state authorities.

“Through calls to phone line 079, 103 people who had been reported missing have now been located,” she explained.

New road and bridge explosions raise alarm amid indigenous protests in Ecuador

Ecuadorian authorities are investigating two explosions that occurred early Wednesday, one on a road in the southern part of the country and another under a bridge in Guayas province. These incidents follow the car bomb explosion in the coastal city of Guayaquil, also in Guayas, which occurred the day before and left one person dead and 30 injured.

Press reports indicate that one person was injured and several vehicles were damaged in the explosion on the Cuenca-Girón-Pasaje road in the south.

“Besides yesterday’s explosion in Guayaquil, we have received reports of explosives placed on bridges along the Guayaquil-Machala and Machala-Cuenca routes to disrupt traffic,” said Roberto Luque, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT).

On his X social media account, Luque reported that authorities have been deployed to the sites to assess the damage and determine the current condition of the structures.

“What they haven’t achieved with their call for a strike, some are trying to achieve through terrorism,” he stated, referring to the 24 days of protests organized by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities (Conaie) against rising diesel prices and other demands.

Armed forces target illegal mines in Northern Ecuador with bombing raids

Ecuador’s Armed Forces carried out an operation on Monday — including airstrikes — against illegal mining in the town of Buenos Aires, in the country’s north, Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo reported.

The mountainous, gold-rich area has been a hotspot for illegal mining since 2017, located in the Andean province of Imbabura.

In 2019, former president Lenín Moreno deployed around 2,400 soldiers to the region in an attempt to curb the illegal activity. “The operation began with mortar fire, followed by gunfire and bombing runs by Supertucano aircraft,” Loffredo said in a video released by the Defense Ministry.

He added that the operation would continue on Tuesday with patrols across the area to locate possible members of “irregular armed groups that may have crossed from the Colombian border.”

The Armed Forces stated on X that the intervention focused on the “complete elimination of multiple illegal mining tunnels” in the areas known as Mina Nueva and Mina Vieja.

The operation coincided with the deployment of a military and police convoy into Imbabura, which has been the epicenter of protests against President Daniel Noboa since September 22, following his decision to scrap the diesel subsidy.
