Emergency relief personnel and local authorities reported civilian casualties after an airstrike landed in the vicinity of an outdoor wedding ceremony in the coastal district of Sirik in southern Iran.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society deployed multiple emergency ambulances and rescue teams to the celebration site in Hormozgan province. First responders worked to evacuate wounded guests and deliver emergency medical treatment, transferring dozens of people suffering from blast trauma and shrapnel injuries to regional hospitals in Minab and Bandar Abbas. Provincial health directors declared a state of emergency at medical facilities across the coastal corridor to manage the influx of patients.
Witnesses and regional administrators indicated the detonation occurred near residential structures where families had assembled for the evening reception. Iranian state television broadcast footage of damaged civilian vehicles and temporary pavilions, attributing the strike to the broader military campaign launched by the United States against regional defense installations.
A spokesperson for United States Central Command stated that military officials were reviewing reports concerning potential non-combatant casualties near operational target zones. Defense spokespersons maintained that mission targeting strictly focuses on legitimate military assets, noting that post-strike battle damage assessments remain ongoing.
Hormozgan provincial governorate officials visited injured victims in regional treatment wards, pledging state assistance for medical rehabilitation and emergency rebuilding subsidies. The Iranian Red Crescent deployed mobile blood donation units and psychological support teams to Sirik, where community leaders held memorial assemblies for affected families.
