Explosions were reported near the Pakistan Embassy and the residence of the ambassador in Tehran, amid ongoing aerial bombardment in the Iranian capital, diplomatic sources said on Friday.
The blasts occurred around 8pm on Thursday in Tehran’s Pasdaran district, close to both the embassy and the ambassador’s residence.
All Pakistani diplomats were reported safe, though shaken by the incident. No casualties or structural damage to the embassy or residences were reported.
Sources indicated that an Iranian military installation located opposite the embassy may have been the intended target of the strikes.
A senior diplomat stated that loud explosions were heard in the area, but embassy premises remained intact. Staff members continue to perform their duties despite the volatile security situation.
The incident comes as Tehran faces sustained bombardment linked to the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran, which began in late February and has intensified regional instability.
Pakistan, along with other regional actors, is engaged in diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions between the United States and Iran.
