WATCH: CNN's Frederick Pleitgen Flees Iran Stikes

"There's been heavy bombardment in Tehran over the past 24 hours as we both heard and felt. This morning we visited a site when all of a sudden it was targeted again. We're hearing jets overhead. That just goes to show how fast things can turn bad here."

"Anti-aircraft fire, jets overhead, and an explosion while we were filming at a site that had been hit the day before in Eastern Tehran. The situation is constantly evolving as strikes continue between Iran and the U.S. and Israel."

"I was in the basement. I was thrown against the opposite wall. I was under the rubble. That's it. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry."

CNN senior international correspondent Frederick Pleitgen was forced to seek cover while reporting from Tehran as the city experienced heavy bombardment from airstrikes. The U.S. and Israel have conducted strikes targeting Iranian government officials, including the supreme leader, while Iran has responded with drone strikes that killed six U.S. service members. President Trump characterized the military operation as limited in duration while threatening other regimes. Pleitgen documented the rapidly evolving situation, including anti-aircraft fire, jets overhead, and explosions at previously targeted sites. Civilians in the affected areas described harrowing experiences of being caught in the bombardment, with one resident recounting being thrown against walls and buried under rubble.
