IRAN - Hrana Report on 29th day of war
March 28, 2026: March 28, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 29th day of war
Strikes on Hundreds of Targets in Residential Areas
In the last 24 hours, and as of March 28, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 701 attacks across 278 incidents in 21 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 173 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). The attacks over the past day, in terms of number, rank among the highest recorded since the beginning of the war. Of these, 74% of the strikes occurred in Tehran. Various locations in urban and residential areas have borne the brunt of the attacks.
According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 28, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 24 civilians were killed and 88 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: 1,551 people (including at least 236 minors)
- Military fatalities: 1,208 people
- Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 702 people
Note on Official Statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reports, several aggregated official statistics were also published today by state media, including:
The Ministry of Health announced: “So far, more than 230 minors have been killed and around 1,800 minors/children have been injured. According to this report, 244 women, 214 minors under 18, and 17 children under 5 have been killed. Healthcare worker fatalities: 24.”
The head of the Center for Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Education stated: “Since the beginning of the Zionist-American war against our country, 252 students and teachers have been killed, and 184 members of the education community have been injured.”
The Ministry of Health reported the latest casualty figures as of day 29 of the war: “Currently hospitalized: 831 individuals; treated and discharged: 24,175 individuals.”
As these figures have been presented in aggregate form and cannot be precisely matched to specific events, they have not been included in the event-based calculations reflected in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this overview, and 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 Tehran Province, with a 74% share, ranks at the top of the list of provinces that have been targeted. Alborz Province, with a significant gap from Tehran Province, comes in second with an 11% share, while Isfahan Province ranks third with a 5% share. Following these are Khuzestan Province, Yazd Province, Zanjan Province, and East Azerbaijan Province, respectively.
2. List of Objects Reported Hit
In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 29 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:
- Shahid Kobraei Army Base (Aran va Bidgol)
- Headquarters of the 44th Artillery Group (Isfahan)
- Headquarters of the Asef Brigade (Minab)
- Amir al-Momenin Headquarters (Isfahan)
- Technical Center affiliated with the Defense Industries (Tehran)
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 building at Iran University of Science and Technology (Tehran)
- Shahid Aabsalan Clinic (Minab)
- A 10,000-cubic-meter water reservoir (Haftgel)
- A four-story residential building (Savojbolagh)
- A livestock farm in Shahabiyeh village (Khomein)
3. Civilian Casualties
In the past 24 hours, at least 24 civilian citizens, including 8 minors and 6 women, have been killed, and 88 civilians, including 3 minors and 3 women, have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available
4. Military Casualties
During the reporting period, 41 military personnel were killed. 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
In the past 24 hours, seven deaths and 13 injuries have been reported but remain classified as undetermined. This means that HRANA News Agency has not yet been able to establish 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.
