March 4, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 5th day of war

Expansion of Areas Affected by Military Strikes

In the last 24 hours, and as of March 4, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 117 attacks across 51 incidents in 23 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 57 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). According to aggregated data since the outbreak of the conflict on February 28, the total number of reported civilian deaths has reached 1,114 including 183 minors, most of them under the age of ten. An additional 926 reported deaths are currently under review for verification and classification.

Based on information verified today, HRANA has recorded 31 civilian deaths and 25 civilian injuries, as well as the death of one military personnel. During the last 24-hour period, 926 cases (deaths and injuries) remain under review for verification and classification, including assessment of whether individuals were civilians or military personnel.
Additionally, over the past 24 hours, it has been reported that 51 targets have been struck in 117 attacks. These include a range of locations and infrastructure, including several military bases, a medical center, a blood transfusion center, and several residential areas. The nature of these objects, whether under special protected status, civilian, military, or dual use, remains under review, and classifications may be revised as further information becomes available. The number of recorded targets includes both those that were directly struck and those that sustained damage as a result of nearby attacks or collateral impacts.
Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on 28 February 2026: The total number of reported civilian deaths stands at 1,114, including 181 minors, with 926 reported deaths currently and under review pending verification and classification.
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 34% of the attacks, continues to be targeted more than any other part of the country. Kermanshah and Fars provinces follow, each accounting for 6% of the attacks. Meanwhile, western regions of the country, such as Kurdistan and West Azerbaijan, continue to account for a significant share of the airstrikes.

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. This list is not exhaustive; the items listed are illustrative.

• Alborz Industrial Town in Qazvin
• An industrial town in Urmia
• An IRGC logistics warehouse in Vardavard, Tehran
• Ashura Garrison in Najafabad
• A Basij base in Afsariyeh, Tehran

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.

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.
As of the past 24 hours, HRANA documents reported damage to the following facilities protected by IHL. The information below reflects preliminary findings and remains subject to verification. This list is not exhaustive; those listed are illustrative.

• A surgical center in Sohrevardi district, Tehran
• Ba’athat Hospital in Tehran
• Esmat Girls’ High School in Urmia
• Blood Transfusion Organization in Urmia
• Sarallah Hosseiniyeh in Shiraz.

3- 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, 31 civilians were reported killed, and 25 civilians were reported injured across 23 provinces. One child is among those killed.

4- Military Casualties
During the same reporting period, one military personnel were reported killed. Military casualties have primarily been reported in connection with 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 been independently verified. Access to information and statistics regarding military casualties remains particularly challenging.
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.

5- Unverified Casualties
As of publication, 926 casualties remain under active review and are currently classified as undetermined.
The classification may remain pending for the following reasons:

• 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.

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.
