Dubai, Apr 06: US-Israeli airstrikes hit at least 12 cities across Iran, killing at least 13 people in the Baharestan county in the capital Tehran.
As per the semiofficial Fars news agency, four girls and two boys under the age of 10 were killed in the US-Israeli attacks on the province of Tehran overnight.
It posted the update referring to an earlier attack on a residential area in the province’s Baharestan County. It had reported that 13 people were killed in that attack.
Airstrikes early Monday morning also targeted the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran.
Iranian media reported the strikes and damage to buildings there, as well as a natural gas distribution site next to the campus.
It wasn’t immediately clear what had been targeted on the grounds of the university, which is empty of students as the war has forced all schools in the country into online classes.
Meanwhile, the state-run IRAN daily newspaper said in an online message that an airstrike in a residential area of Qom killed at least five people. Qom is a holy Shiite seminary city just south of Tehran. (With agency inputs)
