A US Tomahawk missile strike that hit an elementary school in Iran’s Minab happened due to a targeting error, according to a report citing an ongoing military investigation. The February 28 strike destroyed the Shajarah Tayyebeh school building and reportedly killed more than 175 people, most of them children. US officials said the target coordinates were created using outdated data by the US Central Command. The information had been provided by the Defence Intelligence Agency. Investigators are examining why the data was not double-checked. Officials said the mistake was likely human. The school stands near a base of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Navy, which had been the intended military target. (PC: NDTV)
