A United States military strike accidentally hit an Iranian elementary school on February 28, killing at least 168 children and 14 teachers, according to Antigua News Room, which cited a CNN report on the incident.
Two sources briefed on the preliminary findings of an ongoing military investigation indicated the strike was likely carried out based on outdated information about a nearby naval base, as reported by Antigua News Room.
Iranian state media reported the casualty figures, which include the deaths of the children and educators. The investigation into the strike remains ongoing, and the preliminary findings have not yet been finalised.
