Iran’s judiciary has said the death toll from a strike that hit a school in the country’s south has risen to 85, after the US and Israel launched a wave of attacks on the Islamic Republic, AFP reports.

“The number of martyrs at the girls’ school in Minab has increased to 85,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website quoted the local prosecutor’s office as saying.

AFP was unable to access the location to verify the toll or the circumstances surrounding the incident.
