March 9, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 10th day of war
Extensive Damage to Isfahan’s Historical Sites
In the last 24 hours, and as of March 9, 2026, at 16:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 285 attacks across 147 incidents in 17 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 61 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). Today’s reports indicate that, unlike in previous days when the country’s western provinces were primarily targeted, the current focus of the attacks, after Tehran, has been concentrated on Isfahan Province.
According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 9, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 40 civilians were killed and 8 civilians injured. Additionally, 11 deaths have been recorded for which the classification (civilian or military) is not specified in the available data. To avoid potential misclassification, these cases are presented in this report under the category of “unspecified.”
Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on February 28, 2026, based on incidents recorded in the incident tab and using minimum values for figures marked “more than”:
- Civilian fatalities: 1,245 people (including at least 194 minors)
- Military fatalities: 189 people
- Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 327 people
This remainder of this report provides a preliminary analytical overview of documented incidents over the past 24 hours. All figures and classifications are based on information available at the time of publication. As verification continues and more information becomes available, casualty figures and classifications may be updated.
Note on Official Statements: Alongside the independent reports published by the HRANA, several aggregated official statistics were also recorded today from Iran’s state media, including the following:
Ali Ja’farian, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Health, told Al Jazeera that more than 1,255 people have been killed during the nine days of war. He added in his interview with the network that over 12,000 people have also been injured.
According to Ja’farian, the victims include individuals ranging in age from an eight-month-old infant to an 88-year-old elderly person, and 200 women are among those killed. He also stated that 11 members of the medical staff have been killed and 55 others injured.
Ja’far Miadfar, head of Iran’s National Emergency Organization, told media outlets that 190 of those killed were under the age of 18. He added that there are currently 11 “martyrs,” three of whom were members of Emergency Service 115.
Among the injured, 1,402 are women. Seven hundred of the injured are under 18 years old, and 60 are under the age of five.
Since these figures have been presented in aggregated form and cannot be accurately matched to specific events, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in the independent reporting section of this HRANA review. They are mentioned here solely as a record of official statements.
1 - Overview of Incidents in the Last 24 Hours
In the last 24 hours, incidents were reported across multiple provinces, reflecting a geographically dispersed pattern of hostilities. In a large portion of the incidents, the method/type of attack has not yet been confirmed and has been recorded as “undetermined.” In cases where the attack type was identifiable, airstrikes and drone attacks were reported.
Preliminary analysis indicates that Tehran Province, accounting for 32% of the attacks, continues to be targeted more than any other part of the country. It is followed by Isfahan Province, which experienced a sharp increase to 23% compared to previous days and saw a large wave of attacks over the past 24 hours. Hormozgan Province also witnessed 10% of the total attacks recorded during the past day. Regions such as Lorestan, Khuzestan, and Alborz, as in previous days, have also borne a significant share of the attacks received.
2 - List of Objects Reported Hit
Over the past 24 hours, 34 unique events have been recorded, resulting in damage to 72 distinct objects or facilities. These cases cover a range of different types of targets. In some instances, the reported damage was also the result of nearby attacks or secondary consequences of the strikes.
Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:
- Optical Defense Industries (Isfahan)
- Soru Pier (Bandar Abbas)
- Mobarakeh Law Enforcement Command (Mobarakeh)
- Shahid Montazeri Camp (Shahriar)
- Sahab Pardaz Informatics Company building (Tehran)
For a number of the listed targets, the exact nature of the target (civilian/military/dual-use) is still under review, and classifications may be revised as additional information becomes available.
2.1 - Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:
Under international humanitarian law, medical facilities, educational institutions, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and emergency service centers are among the many objects that maintain special protected status and are afforded special protection. In the past 24 hours, HRANA has preliminarily recorded the following cases:
- Bahman Motor Dealership (Lar)
- Chehel Sotoun Palace-Museum (Isfahan)
- Ali Qapu Palace-Museum (Isfahan)
- Shahidan Nasiri Stadium (Tehran)
- Safaian Clinic and Medical Center (Tehran)
3 - Civilian Casualties
Over the past 24 hours, at least 40 civilians, including one child, have been killed, and 8 civilians, including one woman, have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available.
4 - Military Casualties
During the period covered by this report, two military personnel were killed. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.
In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.
It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.
5 - Unverified Casualties
Among the data recorded for the past 24 hours, no cases have been registered as unconfirmed casualties.
6 - Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties
At the time of publication, 11 deaths recorded over the past 24 hours remain classified as “unspecified.” This means that HRANA News Agency has not yet been able to determine with sufficient certainty whether these individuals were civilians or military personnel.
Burials: Today, 6 burial cases resulting from attacks on previous days have been recorded.
A Note on HRANA Methodology
Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.
The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.
Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.
The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.
Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.
HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.
