IRAN - Hrana Report on 27th day of war
March 26, 2026: March 26, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 27th day of war
Renewed Escalation in Strikes
In the last 24 hours, and as of March 26, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 357 attacks across 154 incidents in 21 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 42 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military) The data recorded today shows that after two days of relative decline, the number of attacks has increased again.
According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 26, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 28 civilians were killed and nine 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: 1,492 people (including at least 221 minors)
- Military fatalities: 1,167 people
- Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 670 people
Note on Official Statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reporting, several aggregated official figures were also recorded today from state media, including:
A provincial official in Hormozgan told Mehr News Agency: “Since the beginning of the Ramadan war, 222 residents of Hormozgan have been killed as a result of American and Zionist attacks on our country.”
The governor of Zanjan stated: “As a result of airstrikes by the Zionist regime and the United States on Zanjan Province, 60 citizens have been killed. Of these, 46 were residents of the province, while the remaining 16 lived in other parts of the country and were buried in Zanjan.”
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 49%, ranks at the top of the list of provinces targeted by the attacks. Isfahan and Razavi Khorasan provinces each rank jointly in second place with a 10% share, while Fars Province ranks third with 7%. They are followed by Alborz, Hamedan, and Sistan & Baluchestan provinces, respectively.
2. List of Objectives Reported Hit
In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 15 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:
- Missile site (Zafar)
- Army armored garrison (Shiraz)
- IRGC-affiliated headquarters (Hamedan)
- Ministry of Defense aerospace industries in Mehrabad, Tehran
- Fuel depot near Shahid Hashemi-Nejad Airport, Mashhad
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:
- Four-story residential building (Isfahan)
- Judiciary building on Kaveh Street (Isfahan)
- Seven-story residential building (Bandar Abbas)
- Residential areas of Asbas village (Khosrowshah)
- Industrial town (Neyshabur)
3. Civilian Casualties
In the past 24 hours, at least 28 civilian citizens, including 4 minors, have been killed and 9 others 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
One reported death and four injuries over the past 24 hours remain classified as “undetermined,” meaning HRANA has not yet verified whether the individuals were civilians or military personnel.
Additionally, 24 burials were recorded today, related to casualties from attacks in previous days.
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.
