After US airstrikes
Maxar Technologies imagery shows excavators and personnel attempting repairs at damaged Fordow enrichment facility
Recent satellite imagery has revealed ongoing activity and fresh evidence of significant damage to tunnels and access roads at Iran’s underground Fordow uranium enrichment site caused by last week’s airstrikes.
The facility was targeted by Israeli forces on June 23, one day after the U.S. carried out strikes using bunker-buster bombs.
The new high-resolution satellite imagery, collected by Maxar Technologies, shows an excavator and several personnel positioned immediately next to the northern shaft on the ridge above the underground complex.
The crane also appears to be operating at the entrance to the shaft, where several additional vehicles are seen below the ridge, parked along the access path that was built to access the site.

Maxar’s photos also reveal the complete destruction of a facility north of the site, surrounded by more craters and scattered dust. One more crater and visible burn marks are seen on a western access route.
Analysts believe the primary goal of the strikes was to hinder access to the sites and complicate repair efforts.
