Reuters denies reporting of ballistic missile attack against Israel

(Reuters) - Reuters denied on Friday that it had reported on imminent preparations for a ballistic missile attack against Israel, after reports circulated on social media citing the news agency as saying this.

"Any claims that Reuters reported imminent preparations for a ballistic attack by Iran, including that satellites and radars have picked up ballistic missiles and drones leaving Iran, Yemen and Iraq towards Israel, or that Turkey and Iraq have closed their airspace, are false. Reuters did not report this," a spokesperson said.
