April 4, 2026 - IRAN. Hrana Report on 36^th day of war

Fire Breaks Out at Petrochemical Facilities

In the last 24 hours, and as of April 4, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 272 attacks across 92 incidents in 14 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 184 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). Widespread attacks on petrochemical complexes, particularly in the Mahshahr region in the south of the country, drew significant attention in the media.
According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of April 4, 2026 (Tehran time), at least nine civilians were killed.

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: 1,616 people (including at least 244 minors)
• Military fatalities: 1,213 people
• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 711 people

Note on official statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reports, several official aggregated statistics were also recorded today by state-affiliated media, including:
The deputy governor of Khuzestan Province for security and law enforcement affairs told media outlets: “Since the beginning of the Ramadan War, 1,000 projectiles have been fired toward the province. As a result of these attacks, 210 locations across 26 counties in Khuzestan have been targeted. He also stated that 1,430 people in the province have been injured since the start of the Ramadan War, adding that 27 civilian citizens have also been killed during this period.”
Jafar Miadfar, head of the country’s Emergency Medical Services Organization, stated: “Unfortunately, during efforts to provide services to those injured in the Ramadan War, 24 healthcare defenders lost their lives. Of this number, 3 were EMS 115 rescue workers, and the rest were from various sectors of the health field, including public health, treatment, food, and pharmaceuticals; among them were doctors, nurses, and technicians.”
Miadfar also said: “During the imposed war period, 360 cases of damage to health-sector infrastructure and 46 ambulances were recorded. The number of injured individuals under the age of 18 has reached approximately 1,900, of whom 121 were under 5 years old. Women account for around 4,695 of the injured, with the youngest being one month old and the oldest 100 years old. So far, 216 of those killed were under the age of 18, a significant portion of whom were students. Additionally, 17 of the recorded fatalities were under 5 years old. The number of female fatalities has also reached 261, the youngest of whom was a newborn only a few days old.”
Since these figures are presented in aggregate form and cannot be precisely matched to specific incidents, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this review. They 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 shows that Tehran Province tops the list of attacked provinces with a 34% share. Khuzestan Province follows in second place with 22%, while Isfahan Province ranks third with 16%. The list is then followed by Alborz, Bushehr, Ilam, and Sistan and Baluchestan provinces, respectively.

2. List of Objectives Reported Hit
In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 28 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:

• Army Aviation Base (Isfahan)
• 15 Khordad Garrison (Isfahan)
• Badr Military Airport (Isfahan)
• Air Base (Bushehr)
• Imam Ali Garrison (Mobarakeh)

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:

• Widespread attack on the Karun Petrochemical Complex (Mahshahr)
• Bandar Imam Petrochemical Complex (Bandar Imam Khomeini)
• Mineral water storage warehouses (Mehran)
• Nuclear power plant (Bushehr)
• Residential area (Tehran)

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.
