New Delhi: An airstrike hit Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology on Monday, in the middle of the ongoing war between Iran and the US. According to Iranian media, at least 13 people were killed in the attack. The university is located in the southwest of the capital.
Major harm to the gas Distribution center
Explosions continued to echo in the area throughout the night. The sound of low-flying fighter jets was also heard. According to reports, a gas distribution centre near the university was also damaged, although the exact target of the attack is not yet clear.
Luckily Students were not on campus
Schools and universities across the country are conducting classes online due to the war, so the presence of students on campus has not been confirmed. Some reports claim that the university has been linked to weapons and ballistic missile programs.
Over the past few years, several countries have imposed sanctions on the university for its alleged role in military activities. At least five people were reportedly killed in another attack in a residential area of the city of Qom.
Damage data not released
Iran has not yet released any official figures regarding the total damage or military casualties in the war. According to state media, the attack targeted a gas station near the university, temporarily disrupting gas supplies in the area.
