Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on 28 February 2026: The total number of reported civilian deaths stands at 1097, including 181 children under 18, with 880 reported deaths currently and under review pending verification and classification. Reported civilian injuries since 28 February 2026 stand at 5402, including 100 children.
This report provides a preliminary analysis of incidents documented within the last 24 hours. All figures and classifications contained herein are based on information available at the time of publication. As verification efforts continue and additional information becomes available, casualty figures, classifications of individuals as civilian or military, and the categorization of damaged objects may be updated.
HRANA applies a verification methodology that relies on cross-checking field reports, local sources, medical and emergency contacts, and available open source material. In cases where information cannot yet be conclusively verified, incidents or casualties are classified as undetermined and remain under active review. The dynamic nature of the situation, access constraints, and communication disruptions may affect the completeness of current data.
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. The documented incidents include airstrikes and missile attacks, primarily involving cruise missiles.
Preliminary analysis indicates that Tehran Province, accounting for 38 percent of the attacks, continues to be targeted more than any other part of the country. Unlike previous days, when Kurdistan and Ilam provinces ranked second and third in terms of the number of attacks, today Kermanshah and Isfahan provinces held those positions, accounting for 9 percent and 8 percent of the attacks respectively. Kurdistan, with a 7 percent share, continues to experience a significant and sustained portion of the air and missile strikes.
2- List of Objects Reported Hit
In the last 24 hours, the following objects were reported as hit. Please note that this list includes not only objects reportedly directly targeted, but also those documented as damaged as a result of nearby strikes or blast effects.

For a number of the above-listed objects, the precise nature of the target, whether civilian, military, or dual use, remains under review. Verification efforts are ongoing to determine the status and function of each object at the time of the reported strike. As further information becomes available, classifications may be revised in subsequent updates.
3- Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:

4- Civilian Casualties
All casualty figures presented below are based on information available at the time of publication. The classification of individuals as civilian, military, or undetermined is preliminary and subject to change as further verification is conducted. Where sufficient corroboration is not yet available, cases remain under review and may be reclassified in subsequent updates.
In the last 24 hours, 15 civilians were reported killed, and 1 civilians were reported injured across 19 provinces. Among them, 2 children were killed.
The highest number of civilian casualties was documented in Tehran province, followed by Isfahan Province.
5- Military Casualties
During the same reporting period, 12 military personnel were reported killed. This figure for military casualties is limited exclusively to those reported in connection with attacks on military or paramilitary bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have been independently verified.
In certain incidents, individuals were killed in proximity to military objectives, but their formal status has not yet been conclusively established. These cases remain under review, and classification may be revised if credible information indicates a different status.
6- Unverified Casualties
As of publication, 52 casualties remain under active review and are currently classified as undetermined.
• Lack of identifying documentation
• Conflicting reports from sources
• Insufficient information regarding affiliation or role at the time of death or injury
• Ongoing efforts to verify open-source reports through the HRANA network
7- Undetermined Casualties
As of the time of publication, 10 casualties (deaths and injuries) remain classified as undetermined. This includes cases where HRANA has not yet been able to confirm whether the individual was a civilian or military personnel, or where age status (including potential child casualties) has not been conclusively verified.
A Note on HRANA Methodology
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.
Humanitarian Obligations
Human Rights Activists in Iran today issued a statement condemning the ongoing conflict between the United States–Israel and Iran, warning of rising casualties and ongoing assessments. HRA described attacks on medical centers and critical infrastructure as serious violations of international humanitarian law and called for an immediate halt to attacks, the protection of civilians, and the full restoration of internet access in Iran.
