Explosions reported in Iranian city of Isfahan, Iraq and Syria

BBC World Service - Newsday, Explosions reported in Iranian city of Isfahan, Iraq and Syria

The attacks appear to be in retaliation to Iranian drones and missiles at the weekend.

Isfahan lies about 400 km south of the Iranian capital of Tehran. It's also the site of several nuclear sites but Iranian state media reports said nuclear sites are unharmed.

Explosions have been reported in the Iranian province of Isfahan - as well as in Iraq and Syria. It appears that Israel has retaliated to an Iranian attack on its soil at the weekend. Israel has made no comments. Isfahan is home to a nuclear site as well as a military base.

Also in the programme: Nearly a billion Indian citizens go to the polls to choose their next leader. Results will be announced on 4 June.

And, two men have been arrested in southern germany on suspicion of spying. The authorities say that they were scouting US military bases and that their arrest had prevented "possible explosive attacks".
