Iran's Overnight Missile Salvos Into Day 22
Two ballistic missile attacks on central and southern Israel since midnight — no injuries
As Day 22 began (Saturday, March 21), Iran launched at least two ballistic missile salvos against central and southern Israel — continuing the pattern of attacks that set a record nine salvos on Day 21. Sirens sounded across central and southern Israel following each wave. No injuries were reported; the small number of missiles were likely intercepted based on preliminary IDF assessments. Iran's missile campaign has adapted as IDF strikes degraded western launch sites: the IRGC has shifted firing positions to central Iran, trading speed for survivability. Day 22's early salvos arrive alongside Iran's strike on Diego Garcia and its 'fraction of firepower' warning — signaling Iran intends to maintain pressure across multiple fronts despite degradation.
