UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for maximum restraint on Sunday after Iran's retaliatory attacks on Israel over the latter's deadly assault on the Iranian consulate in Syria.

According to latest reports, Iran on Saturday launched hundreds of drones and missiles from its territory toward Israel, with most intercepted.

Several missiles reportedly struck within Israeli territory, one of which damaged an Israeli military facility in the south of the country. Overall, a few civilians were injured, said Guterres.
