No casualties were reported, the directorate said.
Residents of border regions expressed their fears on the other hand from ongoing Iranian shelling.
“Iranian shelling resumed on Tuesday night and lasted for hours without leading to any casualties as raids targeted uninhabitable regions”, Head of Hajj Omran District Maghdid Arif Ahmad told Alsumarianews.
