At least 40 people were killed and 45 injured following a strike on a girls’ school in Minab, Hormozgan province, southern Iran, amid ongoing US and Israeli military operations. The attack targeted Minab girls’ elementary school, according to state media.

In response to rising security threats, Bahrain’s Ministry of Education announced that all schools and universities would move to distance learning until further notice, covering public, private, and early childhood institutions.

The directive aims to protect students from potential spillover effects of the conflict in the Gulf region, as authorities monitor the evolving situation closely.

Authorities continue to assess the extent of casualties and damages while urging residents to follow safety instructions and avoid areas near military targets.
