Thu, 22 Apr 2021 00:29 UTC Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center Sirens have pierced the air in Israel's southern Negev province near the secretive Dimona nuclear facility, with reports of multiple blasts heard far away from the site and anti-missile systems responding. The sirens were heard in Abu Qrenat - a village some 13 miles (21km) northwest of The Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center in the Negev desert - following reports of explosions from the vicinity of the nuclear facility on Thursday morning, according to the Jerusalem Post. A military spokesperson said the incident resulted in no casualties. Unconfirmed footage has circulated on social media, in which a siren can be heard blaring in the distance. The location the video was captured is unclear. Another clip purporting to show the moment a missile was intercepted by Israel's defense systems has also made the rounds.
