WANA (Mar 08) – Nineteen civilians were killed and several others injured following an airstrike in Najafabad on Sunday morning, according to local officials.

 

Akbar Salehi, the security and law enforcement deputy of the Isfahan Governorate, said fighter jets linked to the United States and Israel carried out the attack, resulting in the deaths of 19 residents of Najafabad. Several others were wounded and transferred to medical centers for treatment.

 

Salehi stated that the victims were civilians who had gone to a local office to receive services related to traffic and driving regulations when the location was struck by the air raid.

 

He added that minutes after the first missile hit the city, and while residents and emergency responders were assisting the wounded, the same location was targeted again in a second missile strike.

 

The official also referenced remarks made a day earlier by Donald Trump, who said that the United States “should target the people of Iran.”
