Five pupils reported killed in Iran, man injured in Israel as war starts

The latest war started earlier on Saturday when the US and Israel attacked Iran.

Five female students were killed in an elementary school in Iran following missile strikes by Israel and the United States, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency has reported.

Al Jazeera reports that the girls’ elementary school is located in Minab, a city located in the Hormozgan province of Southern Iran.

Retaliatory strikes by Iran damaged a nine-story building in northern Israel, leaving a man with minor injuries.

Al Jazeera quotes Israel’s Channel 12 as stating that the Iranian missiles were intercepted, but shrapnel hit the building and injured the man.

Loud sirens continue to blare across Israel as citizens are urged to seek shelter, and schools, airports, and all public facilities are shut.

Iran has also shut its airspace and closed schools and other public buildings.

The latest war started earlier on Saturday when the US and Israel attacked Iran.

Iran has retaliated with attacks on Israel and US bases in the Middle East. One person has been confirmed killed in the UAE from the Iranian missile attacks.
