‘Mistakes were clearly made,’ rights chief says of attack that killed more than 150Mourners gather at the funeral for dozens of children killed in the strike on a school in Minab, Iran. On the first day of the war last Saturday, a strike hit an elementary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab and killed at least 150 people, say Iranian officials. When it comes to a school, he said, that was “clearly a civilian institution that should never be attacked”. He pointed out that the attack had “happened in the morning”, at a time when children were likely to be in school. “The onus is now really on those who conducted these strikes to conduct this type of investigation,” he said.
