Explosion heard at Karaj power plant in Iran

An explosion was reported at a power plant in Karaj, Iran, on Saturday night, accompanied by footage showing a fire at the site. A 4.0 magnitude earthquake was also felt in the area, but it remains unclear if it was linked to the explosion. Iranian officials attributed local power outages to bad weather, while a previous explosion at the Port of Bandar Abbas in April resulted in significant casualties, confirmed to be caused by a chemical fire in a shipping container.
