The US carried out a missile strike on the outskirts of the city of Abadan on Sunday evening local time, according to Iranian media.

Abadan, located in Khuzestan province, is in southwestern Iran, near the country’s border with Iraq.

There were no casualties as a result of the attack, Valiollah Hayati, a deputy governor for the province, told Iran’s national broadcaster IRIB. Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency also reported the strike, citing the Khuzestan government.
