March 22, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 23rd day of war

More Than 15% of the Total Fatalities Are Minors

In the last 24 hours, and as of March 22, 2026, at 16:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 206 attacks across 112 incidents in 15 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 4 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). With the killing of a minor today, it is estimated that at least 15% of the total human casualties in Iran so far have been under the age of 18.
According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 22, 2026 (Tehran time), at least one civilian was killed and three civilians were 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: 1,407 people (including at least 214 minors)
• Military fatalities: 1,167 people
• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 657 people

Note on official statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reports, several official aggregated figures were also recorded today from state media, including:
The Minister of Health stated: “In the recent imposed war, around 210 minors have been killed so far. The number of injured individuals under 18 has reached over 1,510. Since the beginning of the war, 300 health, medical, and emergency centers have been damaged.”
The Governor of Markazi Province stated: “More than 20 industrial units and 900 residential homes in this province have been damaged so far. With the follow-ups carried out, workers of the affected units will be covered by unemployment insurance, and the reconstruction of the units is beginning.”

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 Tehran Province, accounting for 39% of all recorded attacks, ranks first among the provinces targeted. Hormozgan Province, with 19%, and Isfahan Province, with 10%, follow in second and third place. Next on the list are Bushehr, Khuzestan, and Alborz provinces, respectively.

2. List of Objectives Reported Hit
In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 21 distinct objectives/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:

• Garmdareh Garrison (Garmdareh)
• Airbase (Bushehr)
• Naval Base of the Army (Bushehr)
• Airbase (Bandar Abbas)
• Army Aviation Base (Isfahan)

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:

• A residential building (Tabriz)
• Six residential units (Mohammadshahr)
• Shohada-ye Kargar Sports Complex (Masjed Soleyman)
• Combined-cycle power plant (Bandar Abbas)
• Geno Power Plant (Bandar Abbas)

In the past 24 hours, at least one minor has been killed and three civilians, including one woman, have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated as new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties
During the period covered by this report, no reports of military casualties have been received. 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
Today, 19 burials resulting from attacks in previous days have been recorded.

A Note on HRANA Methodology
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.
