The United Nations has described a reported strike on a girls’ school in Minab as “horrific” and is demanding a full investigation into the incident.
According to reports cited by Reuters, at least 160 children were allegedly killed on the first day of the strike. Footage circulating globally appears to show rows of freshly prepared graves, underscoring the scale of the reported casualties. The images have sparked widespread international outrage and renewed calls for accountability.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio stated that America would never deliberately target a school, emphasizing that civilian sites are not intended targets under U.S. policy.
However, the United Nations has indicated that its concern is focused not on stated intent, but on the facts surrounding what occurred. UN officials are calling for an independent investigation to establish the circumstances of the strike, determine responsibility, and assess potential violations of international humanitarian law.
The reported attack comes amid escalating regional conflict, with mounting civilian casualties drawing increased scrutiny from global leaders and human rights organizations.
As of now, details surrounding the incident remain under investigation, and official confirmations of casualty figures are still being assessed.
This is a developing story.
