According to the semi-official Fars news agency, the bombing targeted the nuclear facility and resulted in the death of a member of the security staff.   The attack also caused material damage to nearby buildings belonging to the plant, as a result of the explosion and shrapnel.

  According to the source, this is the fourth attack against this plant since the start of the military offensive by Washington and Tel Aviv on February 28.

  These events are part of the escalating conflict in the region, which has left thousands dead and wounded in Iran, while Tehran responds by launching missiles and drones.
