Tehran: The death toll from a strike on a primary school in southern Iran has risen to 148 children, with at least 95 others injured, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

The attack took place on Saturday in the city of Minab, where a primary school building was severely damaged. The strike has been described in reports as a joint operation carried out by Israel and the United States.

Local authorities said several people are still feared trapped under the debris of the collapsed structure, raising concerns that the casualty figure could increase further as rescue operations continue.

Injured students and school staff were shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Officials indicated that the number of fatalities has continued to climb as more victims are recovered from the site.
