Verification
Corroborated: 3 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Number of launches: Rerum Novarum // Intel reports 3 ballistic missile launches from Yazd, while OSINTdefender relays an early report of a single missile in the Yazd area.
- Extent: Middle East Spectator reports launches from multiple cities including Yazd and Kermanshah, while Rerum Novarum // Intel and OSINTdefender name only Yazd.
- Nature: Middle East Spectator says it is unclear whether the activity is an exercise, while the other two posts report the launches without any exercise caveat.
Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
