The February 28th attack occurred the same day as a US Tomahawk cruise missile struck a school in the city of Minab, several hundred kilometres away, killing 175 people. Another video, from a security camera directly across from the sports hall, shows the strike on the hall and adjacent school. A satellite image shows a sports hall and adjacent primary school in Lamerd, Iran, as well as an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps compound nearby. A US official confirmed that the missile used in the Lamerd strike was the PrSM. Some of the casualties were volleyball players who were training inside the hall when the missile struck, according to Iravani and eyewitnesses cited by US-based online media outlet Drop Site News.
