Several unidentified drones attacked an ammunition factory in Isfahan on the night of January 28–29, 2023, with other unexplained explosions across Iran,^[1]^[2] including a fire in an oil refinery in Tabriz and reports of explosions and fire in Karaj.

Israel gave no comment, but the Mossad was implicated by most Western intelligence and Iranian sources in similar successful attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities and defense industry, especially in 2020. Iran intensified its threats to destroy Israel, despite downplaying the attacks.^[3]

The governments of Russia and Ukraine publicly reacted to the events. Russia condemned the attack, while Ukraine said that Iran had been warned about supplying Russia with drones.
