Mohammad Radmehr, the governor of Mindab county, where the purported strike took place, said the toll had risen to at least 63 students with a further 92 injured. Others were still trapped under the rubble, he added.

“The destroyed building is a primary school for girls in the south of Iran. It was bombed in broad daylight, when packed with young pupils,” said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragghchi in a post on X.

CNN has geolocated video from the scene to the Shajaba Tayyiba School in Southern Minab. It sits about 200 feet from an Iranian military base, and previously appears to have been part of the base, but satellite imagery shows that it has been separated from the base since at least 2016.

Asked about the strike, CENTCOM spokesperson Tim Hawkins said “we are aware of reports concerning civilian harm resulting from ongoing military operations. We take these reports seriously and are looking into them. The protection of civilians is of utmost importance, and we will continue to take all precautions available to minimize the risk of unintended harm.”
