- On the night of January 29, a powerful explosion occurred at a military plant producing ammunition in the Iranian province of Isfahan. Near Isfahan, there is a research center of Shahed Aviation Industries, which deals with the drones with which Russia attacks Ukraine. According to media reports, four military facilities in Iran were under attack, including a defense enterprise in the city of Isfahan, another one in the city of Khoy, and a petrochemical plant in the cities of Azershehr and Kerej (Alborz province).
