March 27, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 28th day of war
Strikes on Industrial Units and Infrastructure
In the last 24 hours, and as of March 27, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 541 attacks across 164 incidents in 18 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 171 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). In addition to the fact that the number of attacks and casualties marks the highest rate in the past week, today Iran’s steel industry and two related power plants witnessed a large-scale wave of attacks and destruction.
According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 27, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 35 civilians were killed and 60 civilians were injured.
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: 1,527 people (including at least 228 minors)
- Military fatalities: 1,167 people
- Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 695 people
Note on official statements: Alongside the independent reports published by HRANA, several aggregated official statistics were also recorded today from state media, including:
The Red Crescent announced: “More than 92,000 civilian units have been damaged, and 1,621 minors under the age of 18 have been injured.”
The head of the Emergency Organization said: “In this war, more than 200 individuals under 18 and 237 women have been killed.”
The governor of Isfahan stated: “25 workers were killed in recent enemy attacks across different parts of Isfahan province, one of whom was from the province’s Armenian and Christian community.”
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, with a 36% share, ranks first among the provinces that have been targeted. Isfahan Province, with an 18% share, is in second place, followed by Fars Province with 9% in third. Further down the list are Alborz Province, Khuzestan Province, and East Azerbaijan Province, respectively.
2. List of Objectives Reported Hit
In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 42 distinct objectives/facilities. These include a range of different types of targets. In some cases, damage caused by nearby strikes or secondary consequences of the attacks has also been reported.
Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:
- Parchin Military Complex (Tehran)
- Army Helicopter Base Isfahan (Isfahan)
- Garrison 06 Tehran (Tehran)
- Ahmad Kazemi Garrison Vilashahr (Isfahan)
- 4th Tactical Fighter Base Dezful Andimeshk (Andimeshk)
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:
- Mobarakeh Steel Company (Isfahan)
- Khuzestan Steel Company (Khuzestan)
- Firoozabad Cement Plant and Mine (Firoozabad)
- Ardakan Uranium Processing Facility (Ardakan)
- Arak Heavy Water Facility (Arak)
In the past 24 hours, at least 35 civilian citizens, including 7 children and 6 women, have been killed, and 60 civilians, including 1 child, have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated as new information becomes available
4. Military Casualties
During the period covered by this report, no reports of military casualties have been received. 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. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties
In the past 24 hours, 25 deaths and 51 injuries have been reported but remain classified as undetermined. This means that HRANA News Agency has not yet been able to establish with sufficient certainty whether these individuals were civilians or military personnel.
A Note on HRANA Methodology
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.
