Drones Target Azerbaijan as Some Flights Resume in Middle East
Strikes in the Gulf have continued for a sixth day, following the US and Israel's joint attack on Iran.
Explosions have been reported in Bahrain and Qatar, as Iran continues to target Gulf nations with retaliatory strikes.
In Azerbaijan, the foreign ministry says two civilians are injured after two Iranian drones hit the country, one struck the terminal building of an airport and the other fell near a school building.
Meanwhile, Iranian state television says a US tanker in the Gulf is the 'currently on fire' after its navy targeted it. This follows an earlier report from the UK Maritime Organisation about a tanker being struck off the coast of Kuwait.
On the ground in Iran: Fresh waves of strikes by the US and Israel have hit Tehran - we've seen photos of smoke rising over the Iranian capital and of residents watching for missiles.
The Israel Defense Forces says it has struck a ballistic missile launcher in the city of Qom and an aerial defence system in Isfahan.
In Israel: The nation continues to be targeted by Iranian counter strikes. Ben Gurion Airport has reopened after five days as Israeli authorities approve a partial reopening of airspace subject to security developments. A repatriation flight to Tel Aviv has also arrived in the country.
Flights expected to resume: The UK-bound charter flight set to bring citizens back from the Middle East is scheduled to leave Oman today following a delay due to "technical issues" - a hold up one passenger describes as 'a total farce' to the BBC.
Elsewhere, the UAE expects limited flights to operate, and Qatari Airways will operate relief flights out of Muscat, Oman.
