Explosion in Israel's Tel Aviv triggered by drone, 7 injured

A massive explosion was heard in Israel's Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday, after which the Israel Defence Forces confirmed it was caused by a drone. The Israeli military said an initial probe determined that "an aerial target" - a term the military uses for drones, impacted the coastal city.

A military statement stressed the matter was under "thorough investigation" after the drone managed to enter Israeli airspace without setting off sirens. It also said the air force will increase patrols by fighter jets "to defend Israeli skies", authorities said.

Reports said the explosion occurred dangerously close to the US Embassy. No air raid sirens were activated in Tel Aviv ahead of the blast. While there were no reports of casualties, reports said paramedics were treating a man and a woman for their injuries. Later, the police said that seven people were injured.
