A massive explosion rocked an Iranian ammunition factory on Tuesday, according to reports from Tehran. Iranian officials say that the blast was caused by a drone attack, which was unsuccessful in its mission.

State television has reported that the explosion hit the ammunition depot of the Iranian Defense Ministry, which is located in the city of Khojir. The depot is part of the Ammounition and Warhead Production Complex, a facility that manufactures arms for the Iranian military.

The blast was felt miles away and caused a large plume of smoke to rise into the sky. Images of the blast have been shared on social media, showing the destruction that was caused.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. The Iranian government has not yet commented on the incident, but it is likely that they will launch an investigation into the matter.

The incident comes at a time of heightened tensions between Iran and other countries in the region, particularly the United States. It remains to be seen how this latest attack will affect the already fragile relations between the two countries.

This is a developing story and more information will be released as it becomes available.
