Lebanon army says Iranian-made missile exploded over territory

Lebanon’s army said on Wednesday that debris from an Iranian-made ballistic missile fell over a wide area of the country after it exploded at high altitude on March 24.

In a statement on X, the army said the missile was a “Qadr-110” with a range of about 2,000 km and likely targeted outside Lebanon.

It said the explosion was probably caused by a technical malfunction or an intercept, adding there were no interceptor missile systems inside Lebanon.

The army said it was continuing its investigation into the incident.
