Kabul, Afghanistan - A devastating strike on a girls' school in Afghanistan has left at least 115 people dead, according to Iranian state media reports. The incident, which occurred in the capital city of Kabul, has sparked outrage and renewed concerns about the ongoing violence and instability in the region.
Verified videos and images from the scene show that at least half of the Sayed Al-Shuhada School was completely destroyed in the attack. It remains unclear what exactly triggered the strike or which country's forces were responsible for the deadly assault.
The school, which served students from grades 6 to 12, was located in a majority-Hazara neighborhood, a predominantly Shia Muslim ethnic group that has faced persistent discrimination and violence in Afghanistan. Many of the victims were young girls, highlighting the disproportionate impact of such attacks on the country's vulnerable populations.
