HRANA– In the last 24 hours, and as of April 5, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 168 attacks across 83 incidents in 11 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 7 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). Renewed attacks on petrochemical complexes in the Mahshahr region, as well as heavy clashes in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, were among the developments that drew the attention of the media and public opinion.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day through the end of April 5, 2026 (Tehran time), at least six civilians were killed and one other person was 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: 1,616 people (including at least 244 children)

• Military fatalities: 1,219 people

• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 711 people

Note on official statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reporting, several official aggregate figures were also recorded today from state media, including:

The head of the Ministry of Education’s Center for Information and Public Relations said: “The number of student martyrs in the Third Imposed War has reached 243.” He added: “In the enemy’s brutal attacks, 58 teachers and education staff members were also killed.” Sadeghi said that “over the past 36 days, 178 students and 24 teachers have also been injured.”

Jalal Maleki, spokesperson for the Tehran Fire Department, said: “Over the past 36 to 37 days, we have managed to rescue 410 people alive from beneath the rubble.”

Figures released by the Lorestan Operations Control and Coordination Center indicate that “2,739 people were injured during this period. The Red Crescent played a direct role in providing aid to 855 people. Ten technical rescue operations were also recorded. On the tragic side of these incidents, 142 people in Lorestan were killed as a result of Zionist and American attacks. The Red Crescent also participated in the transfer of 41 bodies.”

Since these figures are presented in aggregate form and cannot be precisely matched to specific incidents, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this 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 Isfahan Province, accounting for 40 percent, tops the list of provinces that have been targeted. Khuzestan Province, with a 19 percent share, ranks second, while Tehran Province, at 16 percent, places third. The list is followed, respectively, by Bushehr, Hormozgan, and Fars provinces.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 15 distinct objects or 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:

• IRGC base in Sartel (Bushehr)

• Naval Forces base (Bushehr)

• Military barracks (Shiraz)

• Air Force base (Shiraz)

• International airport (Ahvaz)

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.

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:

• Boys’ high school (Mobarakeh)

• Petrochemical complex (Mahshahr)

• Gas station (Bandar Kong)

• Road Maintenance Department (Borujerd)

• Sadra Marine Industries (Bushehr)

 3. Civilian Casualties

During the period covered by this report, no reports of civilian casualties were received. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the period covered by this report, six military personnel were killed and one other individual was injured. 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

Burials: Today, 15 burial cases resulting from attacks in previous days were 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.

The number of injured individuals under the age of 18 has reached approximately 1,900, of whom 121 were under 5 years old.
