Minab, Hormozgan – A missile strike targeted a girls’ school in the Minab district, causing tragic casualties. According to the local governor, at least 40 students have lost their lives, and dozens more have been injured. Emergency services and medical teams are on the ground providing urgent care and assessing further damage.

This attack is part of a disturbing pattern of missile and drone strikes in civilian areas across the region, particularly following escalations involving US and Israeli military operations. Similar strikes have previously targeted schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods, highlighting the growing risk faced by ordinary citizens in conflict zones. Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned that such attacks constitute violations of international law and underscore the urgent need for protective measures for children and other vulnerable populations.

Authorities in Minab have urged residents to remain vigilant and follow instructions from local safety and emergency services. Meanwhile, international observers have condemned the attack and called for accountability to prevent further civilian harm.

This incident serves as a grim reminder of how civilians, and especially children, are increasingly caught in the crossfire of geopolitical conflicts, reinforcing calls for restraint, dialogue, and humanitarian protection in all military operations.
