In a post on X, Baghaei said he was briefed by the Iranian member of Parliament for Mehr, Mousa Mousavi, about a devastating American missile strike on a residential area and sports hall in the city of Lamerd. On the afternoon of Saturday, 9 Esfand 1404 (28 February 2026) the same day students at the Shajareh_Tayyibeh_School in Minab were massacred by Tomahawk missilesa residential area in Lamerd, including a sports hall, was struck by U.S. Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM), Baghaei said. According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, the strike slaughtered 24 persons, including a 2-year-old girl, several teenage volleyball players, while more than 130 persons were injured, many of whom now face permanent disabilities. Baghaei further alleged that the missiles used detonated in the air before impact, unleashing 180000 of high-velocity tungsten pellets that tore through the area in every direction with devastating force.

The Iranian nation will never forget its martyred sons and daughters.

Gruesome details emerge, deepening agony of heinous crime
Srinagar, May 25: A day after the body of the raped and murdered Budgam child was found, the family is clamouring for answers, demanding exemplary punishment to the perpetrator of the crime. The entire neighborhood of the brutally assaulted and killed child remained drowned in grief and anger, seeking speedy investigation and action. The house of the victim was inundated by people visiting for condolences and mourning. Her mother has been passing out from grief, and is barely conscious, the neighbors reported. Her father has also been unable to speak, devastated by the tragic and shocking end to the life of his only daughter. The grandfather of the murdered child victim of rape and murder, while speaking to a media outlet, asked what she had done to deserve being killed in such a manner. The killer went on to take an innocent life like this. She had gone for Quran, what had she done to him that he didnt even let her reach her seminary? the shaken grandfather asked. The grandfather lamented that even at such a young age, the child prayed five times a day. She would wake up for Fajr too, was very religious minded, and then a tyrant assaulted her like this, he cried. The grandfather said that the entire clan was looking for her when she did not return home at her usual time. He said he could not fathom courage to look at her dead body. Media reports quoted the uncle of the murdered child as saying that the family searched for her the entire night. In morning we found her body, he said. It seems she was badly assaulted as her fists were clenched tight and there was grass in her hands. The uncle said he saw injury marks on the face of the child and signs of heartless criminal assault. A mourner, who appeared to be of the age of the child said the victim used to say she wants to be a Hafiza (remember entire Quran by heart). Her dream was cut short, and the funeral of our collective dignity is underway, she rued. While the Police claimed that one person, who as per the Police also confessed to the crime, has been arrested, demands have been pouring in for fool-proof investigation and exemplary punishment to the criminal. SSP Budgam, Hariprasad K K said the Police was working in the best possible manner to collect evidence and make the case strong in order to ensure that the guilty are punished.

Aga Ruhullah questions institutions, seeks fast-track justice in Budgam minor case
Budgam, May 25: National Conference MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Sunday visited Galwanpora in central Kashmirs Budgam district and expressed concern over what he described as declining moral values and institutional failure following the death of a minor girl whose case police say prima facie appears to be one of rape and murder. After meeting the bereaved family and addressing reporters, Ruhullah said incidents of violence against children were becoming increasingly alarming and demanded strict enforcement of law and speedy justice. These incidents are on the rise. It is the duty and obligation of police, judiciary and government to enforce stringent laws and ensure severe punishment, Ruhullah said. He said the incident had raised serious questions about the effectiveness of institutions responsible for protecting society. Questions are being raised on institutions that have failed to implement laws in letter and spirit, he said. The MP alleged that while police often act swiftly in suppressing dissent and invoking stringent laws such as the Public Safety Act, similar urgency was expected in crimes involving vulnerable victims. Police are quick in suppressing dissent and quickly slap PSA, but in such incidents where goes the will and power of the police? he asked. Ruhullah, however, expressed hope that the investigating agencies would act decisively and ensure justice to the family. I hope the mother and father of the victim will be given justice, he said. Referring to the victims routine, Ruhullah said the tragedy had intensified public anxiety over safety of children. The victim was going to a seminary. If children are not even safe while going to seminary, where are they safe then? he asked. He urged police to solve the case on a fast-track basis and bring those responsible to justice. Ruhullah also called for social introspection, saying families and society must examine how children are being raised and whether materialism and weakening moral responsibility were contributing to social decline. We also need to check ourselves and our homes, how we are bringing up our children. We are lost in materialism, he said, adding that there were elements in society whose upbringing reflected serious moral failure. The MPs remarks came amid continuing outrage and protests over the Galwanpora incident, which has triggered emotional scenes and demands for swift action across parts of Kashmir. Police have constituted a Special Investigation Team to probe the incident and said investigation is underway. [KNT]
