At least 60 people from Iran's Kermanshah province were killed and more than 500 were injured during the recent 12-day war between Iran and Israel, according to provincial officials.
Khosrow Shahidi, Director General of the Martyrs Foundation in Kermanshah, told the semi-official Mehr News Agency that the death toll was based on funeral and burial ceremonies conducted across the province.
"To date, 61 individuals from Kermanshah Province have been confirmed dead in the recent war with Israel," Shahidi said. "These figures are based on provincial-level funeral data."
According to the breakdown, 31 of the fatalities were from the city of Kermanshah, 7 from Harsin, 6 from Kangavar, 5 from Sahneh, 4 from Sonqor and Kalayeh, 4 from Eslamabad-e Gharb, 2 from Sarpol-e Zahab, and one each from Gilan-e Gharb and another district in the province.
Shahidi also noted that 532 individuals were wounded, citing data provided by the province's University of Medical Sciences.
The Iran-Israel war, which erupted on June 13 and lasted for 12 days, resulted in heavy casualties and widespread infrastructure damage on both sides. The conflict also saw US involvement, including strikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.
