What to Know About Iran's Notorious Evin Prison
Israel's military on Monday targeted Iran's Evin prison, a notorious detention facility in Tehran where dissidents and political prisoners are held. The detention center has long been regarded as a symbol of repression, and human rights groups and survivors say that torture and executions are routine there. Israel's defense minister, Israel Katz, announced the attack, which came amid Israeli strikes elsewhere in Tehran. Video footage verified by The New York Times shows an explosion at the main entrance to the prison compound and damage after a blast near a second entrance. It was unclear why Israel struck the entrances to the prison. There were no immediate reports of injuries, and Iran said it still had control of the facility. Here's what to know about the prison and the Israeli attack: What is Evin prison? Thousands of prisoners are held at Evin, among them hundreds of dissidents, including prominent opposition politicians, activists, lawyers, journalists, environmental activists and students. It is also used to hold prominent non-Iranian or dual-citizen prisoners, many of whom have been accused of spying. The prison sits on a hilltop in northern Tehran at the foot of the Alborz Mountains. The compound is surrounded by electrified barbed-wire fences as well as a minefield. How was the prison damaged? Several strikes targeted two entrances to the prison complex. IRNA, the Iranian state news agency, reported that projectiles had caused 'damage to parts of the facility' but said the prison was 'under full control.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Iranian-aligned hackers claim responsibility for Truth Social cyberattack
Hackers aligned with Iran have claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on President Trump's Truth Social platform, according to the cyber nonprofit Center for Internet Security (CIS). The Iran-aligned hacking group 313 Team took credit for a distributed denial of service (DDos) attack on Truth Social within hours of U.S. strikes on several Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday, a CIS spokesperson confirmed. Truth Social reportedly saw a surge in reports of problems Saturday night, shortly after Trump posted on the site about the 'very successful attack' on the nuclear sites Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan, Wired reported. The hack comes as cyberattacks have ramped up amid increasing tensions between Iran, Israel and the U.S. Iran and Israel have volleyed attacks back and forth in recent weeks following Tel Aviv's surprise attack on Tehran's nuclear facilities. An Israel-linked hacking group took responsibility for cyberattacks against Iran's largest crypto exchange last week, transferring more than $90 million out of Nobitex wallets, according to the blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. However, the hackers likely did not have the private keys to access the addresses where the stolen funds were sent, meaning they were effectively destroyed. The Nobitex hack came one day after the group, known as Gonjeshke Darande or Predatory Sparrow, also claimed responsibility for the hack of a state-owned Iranian bank.

Fayette County man killed after air compressor explodes in garage
A Fayette County man has died from his injuries after an air compressor exploded in his garage on Sunday night. Troopers were alerted to a report of an explosion in the 400 block of Pleasant View Road in Smock, Fayette County, around 9:45 p.m. Troopers arrived on the scene and found the victim, William Kim Jesko, 69, suffering from severe injuries due to the explosion. An early investigation suggests that Jesko was working in his detached garage close to the air compressor when, for unknown reasons, the air compressor exploded. The explosion was so forceful that it blew out the backside of the garage, police added. Jesko was taken to the Uniontown City Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
