Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation said Friday that most of the damage from Israeli air strikes targeting its underground uranium enrichment facility at Natanz was at ground level.
"Most of the damage is on the surface level," said the organisation's spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi, adding that there had been "no casualties" at the facility where the enrichment centrifuges are housed underground.
The organisation also affirmed that inspections revealed no spread of radioactive or chemical contamination beyond the facility.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Ministry of Communications announced temporary nationwide restrictions on internet access in the wake of the Israeli airstrikes.
According to a statement published by the ISNA news agency, the ministry explained that the internet restrictions are temporary and will be lifted once the situation stabilises.
