IRAN - Hrana Report on 16th day of war
March 15, 2026: March 15, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 16th day of war
Over 450 Attacks Recorded
In the last 24 hours, and as of March 15, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 454 attacks across 165 incidents in 16 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 49 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). Today’s reports indicate that after a one-day pause, Tehran Province has once again returned to the top of the list of provinces exposed to attacks, accounting for 48% of the total.
According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 15, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 11 civilians were killed and 22 civilians 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: 1,330 people (including at least 206 children)
- Military fatalities: 1122 people
- Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 613 people
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 shows that after a one-day pause, Tehran Province has once again returned to the top of the list of provinces that have been targeted in attacks, accounting for 48% of the total. Hamadan Province, for the first time and with a 12% share, ranks as the second most targeted province, while East Azerbaijan Province, with 7%, follows in the subsequent position. Isfahan, Fars, and Hormozgan provinces rank next.
2. List of Objectives Reported Hit
In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 28 distinct objectives 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:
- Army Aviation Base (Isfahan)
- Fourth Tactical Air Base (Dezful)
- Kobraei Missile Base (Aran and Bidgol)
- Air Base (Bandar Abbas)
- Al-Hadid Garrison (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.
2.1 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:
- Justice Department / Courthouse (Hamadan)
- Two Schools (Joulan)
- Sports Hall (Arak)
- Municipality Warehouse, District 6 (Nobriz)
- Medical Center, Seyed Khandan Suburb (Tehran)
3. Civilian Casualties
In the past 24 hours, at least 11 civilians, including one woman, have been killed, and 22 civilians have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available
4. Military Casualties
During the period covered by this report, no reports of military casualties have been obtained. 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
At the time of publication, 14 deaths and 2 injuries reported over the past 24 hours remain classified as undetermined. This means that HRANA News Agency has not yet been able to determine with sufficient certainty whether these individuals were civilians or military personnel.
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.
