Residents in Shock After Missile Strikes Devastate Homes in Ray Amid Escalating War
Civilian Casualties and Human Toll
Among the victims were at least five Afghan nationals, highlighting the vulnerability of migrant communities living in Iran. Many Afghan workers reside in densely populated districts like Ray, often in older housing structures more susceptible to collapse under heavy bombardment.
Families gathered near the ruins of their homes, waiting anxiously for news of loved ones. Some clutched photographs, others simply stared in silence as rescue teams continued their search.
The emotional toll was evident everywhere:
- Parents searching for children
- Neighbors calling out names into the rubble
- Survivors recounting narrow escapes
“I lost everything in seconds,” said another resident. “My home, my belongings—everything is gone.”
