The death toll from a violent attack or air strike targeting students in southern Iran has risen to 36, according to the latest reports from the region.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing Iranian media outlets, reports that the number of young people who lost their lives in the incident has been updated as more bodies were recovered from the scene. While the specific circumstances of the event and the intended targets of the strike have not yet been fully disclosed, official circles have confirmed the fatalities.
Rescue operations and security measures are currently ongoing in the affected area as authorities work to identify the victims and secure the perimeter. Local sources and medical officials have not ruled out the possibility of the death toll rising further, as several of the injured remain in critical condition.
This incident occurs amid a period of heightened regional tensions and internal security challenges within Iran. Southern Iran, which hosts various educational institutions and strategic infrastructure, has seen sporadic incidents of violence in recent years. Such events often lead to increased security crackdowns and have significant implications for the stability of the broader Persian Gulf region.
