Iran’s Health Ministry said Thursday that 14 people have been killed and 78 injured in U.S. airstrikes over the past two days.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the recent US salvos hit more than 90 targets across Iran, and Iranian media reported explosions and airstrikes in cities on Iran’s southern coast and in the country’s northern Golestan province on the Caspian Sea.
Here’s what’s been confirmed so far through Thursday night:
Power outages and explosions occurred in Chabahar, a port city on the northern coast of the Gulf of Oman near the border between Iran and Pakistan. Iranian state media said a hospital was hit by rubble, and two piers and a maritime traffic control tower were also targeted.
Iranian media reported that a firefighter was killed in a US attack on Iranshahr Airport in the southeastern city of Iranshahr, and the airport’s operations control building and weather observatory were damaged.
Iranian state media said an explosion was heard in the port city of Bushehr. Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations Amir Saeed Iravani said the US strikes targeted facilities in the city and islands in the Persian Gulf.
According to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the coastal city of Bandar Abbas was hit by a flying object. Video geolocated by CNN shows multiple explosions and a large fire near the city’s Haqqani port.
Iranian media reported airstrikes and explosions on the Persian Gulf island of Abu Musa near the Strait of Hormuz, as well as in the southern coastal cities of Sirik, Jask and Konarak.
A railway bridge in Aquala, a city in northern Iran’s Golestan province, was also attacked by the United States, according to state broadcaster IRIB. CENTCOM said it had struck Iran’s coastline, but the statement did not mention attacks in northern Iran.
In Iran’s southwestern Khuzestan province, three people were killed near the town of Ahvaz, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, citing the province’s deputy governor. Several other people were also injured in the US attack, he added.
