Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst.

Israel and Iran have traded another round of intense missile strikes again today for the third day in a row.

Iranian state media says Israeli missiles hit two energy facilities in southern Iran.

In response, Tehran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones into Israel,

causing many casualties and significant damage. President Isaac Herzog visited the site of an

Iranian missile strike near Tel Aviv. We are seeing here the enormous destruction of an Iranian missile,

but we are determined. We are determined to change the fate of the region, to lead it

towards peace by undermining Iran's capability to threaten us existentially and threaten the region

as a whole. The Iranian Health Ministry says at least 224 people have been killed in Israeli

strikes in Iran since the

beginning of the fighting last week. This says fears grows that the attack could spark a region-wide

conflict. The latest exchanges come just hours after planned U.S. talks on Iran's nuclear program

were called off. Authorities in Minnesota are expected to provide an update soon on the search for a man suspected

of killing a Democratic legislative leader and her husband.

As Matt Seppik of Minnesota Public Radio reports, investigators say they found a car they

believed the suspect drove after the shootings.

Residents in a rural area about 50 miles southwest of Minneapolis

received phone alerts around mid-morning telling them to lock their homes in vehicles.

The message says investigators found a car that they believed Vance Luther Belter had used,

but they had not located Belter. The 57-year-old is suspected of fatally shooting

former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home early Saturday, while impersonating a police officer.

Belter also allegedly shot and wounded state Senator John Hoffman, who's also a Democrat and his wife, Yvette.
