anish Zaidi, a resident of Tahseen Ganj area in old city, said his family has been in a state of panic since losing contact with his brother, who works in the media in Tehran. “I last spoke to him around 10:30 am yesterday (Saturday). He told me a missile had landed barely half a kilometre from his residence,” Zaidi said. The call disconnected abruptly due to network issues. “Since then, we have not been able to speak properly. Everyone at home is worried and praying for his safety,” he added.
