Trump’s new offensive on Iran has killed dozens of students from a girls’ elementary school, according to the country’s state news agency.

The U.S. and Israel launched combined attacks across Iran on Saturday morning after Trump had teased conflict in the region for months. A direct hit on the Shajareye Tayabeh girls’ school in Minab, Hormozgan Province, killed at least 43 students, with 63 others wounded, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

The school week in Iran runs from Saturday through Thursday. Students in Iranian elementary schools, which are known as Dabestan, are typically 6 to 12 years old.

IRNA reported that the strike that hit the school was launched by Israel. The operation was confirmed by Minab’s provincial governor, Mohammad Radmehr, IRNA added. Radmehr said rescue and aid operations were underway at the school.
