According to the Iranian authorities, 168 people were killed in the attack. On 3 March 2026, the judiciary’s Mizan News Agency announced that at least 110 school children were among the dead, comprising 66 boys and 54 girls, as well as 26 teachers and four parents. On 7 March 2026, the authorities published a collage containing the images of 119 children killed. Due to the ongoing internet blackout and no access to the country to inspect the site and interview affected people, Amnesty International is unable to independently corroborate the number of people killed.

In a 12 March statement, eight UN experts called for “independent investigation of specific attacks that could constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law” citing the targeting of the school.
