A building in the southern Israeli city of Dimona collapsed on Saturday after it was struck by falling interception debris from an earlier Iranian ballistic missile attack, Israel's Fire and Rescue Services confirmed, as emergency crews fanned out across at least 12 separate sites in the city to search for casualties.
Twenty people sustained light injuries across Dimona from the impact, according to preliminary reports. Israeli Channel 12 News reported that a cluster munition missile and a separate ballistic missile struck the area, though it remained unclear whether the building collapse resulted from a direct hit or from fragments of intercepted projectiles.
Fire and rescue teams were sweeping the affected zones as reports continued to develop, with the situation described as ongoing.
